How to author a WinGet Configuration file: File naming convention #5720

Description

@jozefizso

The File naming convention section for WinGet configuration files mentions this:

The convention for naming a WinGet Configuration file is using the ".winget" file extension (like configuration.winget). For Git-based projects the default configuration should be stored in a ".config" directory at: ./config/configuration.winget. In some cases, more than one configuration file may be appropriate given different toolchains or user preferences. Those additional configuration files should also be located in the ".config" directory.

It is unclear, if the folder should be .config or config based on the sample directory name.

Should the correct directory name in the sample be ./.config/configuration.winget?
