Valet: Move ~/.valet to ~/.config/valet

[eberkund]

It would be really nice if Valet were to move the default installation path from ~/.valet to ~/.config/valet to conform to https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

A lot of software (fish shell is one of them for example) is going this way now because users get annoyed with the home directory becoming cluttered with endless configuration files. I think it would be a very basic change to this file here: https://github.com/laravel/valet/blob/a0dbae74bf2a8b63ae1ccb9d2cbfea2349e1fe59/server.php

The more software which transitions over to this standard the better!

Note: Additional changes required:
https://github.com/laravel/valet/blob/master/valet#L40
https://github.com/laravel/valet/blob/master/cli/Valet/DnsMasq.php#L143
https://github.com/laravel/valet/blob/master/cli/includes/helpers.php#L11

And docblocks in multiple other spots.

I agree with this. Lot of stuff is migrating over to the spec. Yarn recently did too.

Cool I like this idea. Would love a PR that also migrates the config from
the current location on install, making sure to preserve any secured sites
and stuff like that.
