Use real configuration file instead of Package.swift code

You're welcome to that opinion 👍 - I really only build things that I'm going to use and so my tools are opinionated, I'll happily accept PRs that add something like that with a good set of tests so it doesn't break in the future.

I don't want my project littered with lots of annoying small files like that, that's all. Keeping all your settings inside one file makes it much easier to jump between projects.

How do "annoying small files" make it harder to jump between projects? When I change from one project to another, I either use the Finder or a Terminal and in both the number of files don't have any effect on changing between projects. So I don't really understand that point.

Also I completely disagree with "small files" being an annoying thing. If anything, I consider separating different things into different files a good thing. Especially given that the Package.swift file is considered to (quote) "define the package’s name and its contents" I really don't see how something like a git hooks configuration fits in there.

But that's just my point of view, it's hard to discuss preferences. But I feel like many would rather have at least the option to separate this into a configuration file.
