32309	Allow including hidden directories for startproject/startapp --template	Sage Abdullah	Sage Abdullah	"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 [https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/django-developers/c/7ixiIzn7DDg/m/QckEjbFCAwAJ mailing list discussion]."	New feature	closed	Core (Management commands)	dev	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
