    ~/.dotfiles

Really? Just as so many utilities are finally moving away from `~/.foo` to `$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/foo` (default `~/.config/foo`) to reduce home directory pollution, does a new tool have to start using `~/.foo`?

Heck, even the `dot` output demo'd by TFA shows 8 legacy `~/.foo` files, but 10 `~/.config/foo(/bar)*` files. (But is missing `~/.dotfiles`?!)

This isn't a new tool. It is just a single convenient shell alias for any file on the system with git. You can put the repo in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/dotfiles or wherever you want. ~/.dotfiles is just a common place to put that repo.
