Definitely true with the bunch of config files during in the for of the repo.
I normally see these list

  1. Package.json
  2. Yarn.lock/package-lock.json
  3. Prettier and / or editorconfig
  4. Gitlab ci/ circle CI / GitHub workflows config etc
  5. Makefile or setup if if requires some custom config.

So they all make the barrier of entry a little higher. Probably we could create a single to level file that shares a link to all the config files which are in another sub directory. It doesn't help much but keeps the repository beginner friendly.
