Respect the XDG Base Directory Specification

Open alexanderkjall opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Running the pack download command in codeql writes results to a $HOME/.codeql directory.

It would be nice if codeql conformed to the freedesktop guidelines about where to write user data, as specified here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

That would make it easier to know where the programs data is located, and not clutter my home directory.

Thanks for raising this issue. It's an entirely reasonable suggestion. I've added it to our backlog and will discuss at our next team meeting.
