## Directory Creation
### Why are `.ssh` or `.gnupg` directories being created by yadm?
yadm is often used to track private data used by SSH and GnuPG. Because of this,
these directories are created with restricted permissions prior to Git
operations that could write data to those directories. This is to better protect
that sensitive data.
If you want to disable that feature, you can set the `auto-private-dirs`
configuration by running:
```
yadm config yadm.auto-private-dirs false
```
## Unconventional Cases
### Can I use yadm to track system level files?
