3.1. Location#
The control center is a directory in your repository
where all project configurations, metadata, and variables
are consolidated in a structured format.
This allows for easy tracking of settings throughout the project’s lifespan
and eliminates the need for maintaining multiple configuration files in
different locations.
By default, the control center can be found at the root of the repository
in a directory named .control/.
3.1.1. Customization#
You can customize the location of the control center directory
by setting the $.control.path key
in your configuration files.
Moving Dynamic Directories
Like other dynamic directories in your repository, you should not manually move or rename the control center directory. Instead, after setting the new path in the configuration files, PyPackIT will automatically move the directory to the new location during the next synchronization event.
For example, to change the control center location
to a repository directory at dev/control-center, you should have the following
configuration in your YAML files:
control:
path: dev/control-center
