Hi everyone, I've been playing around with the --template <goog_1032017543> option for django-admin startproject <https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/templates.py#L129> lately, and I noticed that it ignores hidden directories <https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/templates.py#L129> (those that start with period) and __pycache__.
I was trying to create a template that includes a GitHub Actions workflow, but I realized that it wasn't in the generated project. The files are stored in the .github/workflows directory, so it's ignored by Django. I don't know if this has been discussed before, but a quick search only led me to this StackOverflow question <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28407029/django-admin-py-startproject-is-ignoring-hidden-files> . Do you think we should add an option to override this? I can think of some options: - Add something like --hidden-dirs to include hidden directories. - For files specified using --name, always include them even if they're inside hidden directories, or maybe allow the option to accept directories. - Add something like --directory to specify hidden directories explicitly. I can create a ticket and write a patch for this if you support it. Thanks!
