The `startproject`/`startapp` `--template` command
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/templates.py#L129
ignores hidden directories]. This makes it impossible to render the files
in "hidden" directories of a project/app template, even if the file names
are explicitly specified using `--name`. One common use case is to render
a GitHub Actions configuration inside the `.github` directory, which is
"hidden" because it starts with a dot (`.`). A workaround is to move the
files out of the hidden directories (or rename the directories) and moving
them back after the template is rendered.
I've written some possible approaches in the
