Description
This repo uses a lot of dotfiles for config. The customization is nice, but putting all of them at the repo root is very annoying and distracts viewers on the repo home page with a bunch of ci details.
Instead we should be able to set a custom configuration_directory relative to the repo root that contains the dot files. This could be limited to .github/configuration, but I'd rather it be not restricted. For instance I might want to include config files for other tools not used by workflows provided by repos in the same directory, and config for tools that aren't even visible to GitHub (actions).

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how this repository discovers and processes workflow configuration, then define the configuration_directory behavior and verify that dotfiles can be read from an arbitrary repository-relative directory without requiring a fixed path.
