Swiftlint: Why .swiftlint.yml is hidden?

[Den-Ree]

Hi! I tried to install Swiftlint. Can you tell me, please, how I should correctly create .swiftlint.yml in my project folder?
I downloaded .swiftlint.yml from github repo, but it's hidden and should I add this file in my project?

No need to add the configuration file to your project. You can see it on the terminal by typing ls -las.

Why .swiftlint.yml is hidden?

That's a great question! We simply followed the convention of having application-specific configuration files be hidden, just as .gitignore, .travis.yml and other commonly used tools. Not all services/tools choose to follow this convention though, such as circle.yml, but those seem to be outliers.
