Should we rename the project folder from ".template" to "template"?

Issue

Currently, the project folder is .template which lets macOS consider it a hidden folder instead of the main folder of the template project. However, hidden folder sometimes causes some uncomfortable & confusion when working with them.

There are some existing template projects which not use dot folder names:

• https://github.com/nimblehq/react-templates/tree/development/packages
• https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin
• https://github.com/nimblehq/android-templates/tree/develop/template-compose
• https://github.com/nimblehq/ios-templates
• https://github.com/nimblehq/elixir-templates

Solution

Rename the project folder from .template to template.
