ServiceProvider publishes method treats x.config.js as a directory

[devingray]

I used this discussion to try solve a problem that I had where I was being silly. Feel free to have a look at the history basically I had a hidden directory in my project... and had to see it with ls -al.. I cannot delete this discussion, so I would like to use it for a different topic.

When using service providers, there are two methods boot and register

Is there a standard as to what should go into these?

I know that I can add my code in both and it still works, but what makes them different overall?
