Make src-config file hidden and chmod it

[P3GLEG]

You should ensure that the file is considered "hidden" as a good practice. $HOME/.src-config.json as well as perform a chmod 600 on it. Not the craziest thing in the world but it's weird having it found on my desktop.

Thanks for filing this, I definitely agree! Not sure how we missed this.

Probably best to put it in ~/.sourcegraph/config. No worries.

actually please follow the convention by many other tools and put the config in $HOME/.config/sourcegraph/config.json

Hi everyone, I want to clarify something if I may. cc: @slimsag

So far the only part of the code that I saw mentioned src-config.json is in the main.go's readConfig and is only used when the user supplied their own endpoint and access token and not using the environment variable which then will be overrided by the program's manual assignment if there isn't any argument to the -config flag, right?
Is there any part of the code that saves and output any config to the src-config.json that I miss?

Thank you very much in advance 🙂

@joshuabezaleel that is correct, and no, nothing writes to the file.
