[DX] <Clean up the root directory>

[ykdojo]

Description

The root directory has many dotfiles and config files, and it's not a very pleasant experience.

We should clean up some of them so it's easier to get started contributing to this repo.

We can put .lintstagedrc and .commitlintrc.json in our package.json.

Hey @ykdojo I wanted to ask that should I make a new folders for dotfiles and config files and move them to their respective folders?

[ykdojo]

@AakashRaj20 yes that might work well. Just make sure that these dotfiles work even if they're put in folders.

Hey I have moved all the dot files in a separate folder and as there are only 3 config files, so I guess it will not be needed should I raise a PR so that you can have a look?

[ykdojo]

Did you test it?

[AakashRaj20]

Did you test it?

Yes it's working fine

[ykdojo]

Great. When you open the PR, do you mind explaining how you tested each file you moved?

So actually for testing I launched the website in my local machine and everything was working fine, so can you guide me on how can perform specific test for each file?

[ykdojo]

@AakashRaj20 I didn't create some of the files, so could you find the person who created each one and ask them?

Ok will do so

Closing this as config files are supposed to be in the root directory for them to work. The other ways of "hiding" them are not very worth it which include polluting package.json and editor-specific features.
