Rails 4: Where does .codeclimate.yml go in my public Git project?

Question

I see this at codeclimate.com and I want it to go away. What should I do?

I enabled the Code Climate platform and here is where I created my .codeclimate.yml, using the default .yml file Code Climate provides.

Code Climate docs say...

Add a brand new .codeclimate.yml to the root of your default branch (replace any existing Code Climate config file).

I am probably misunderstanding what Code Climate means by "root of your default branch."

Default branch is defined as: Since Git repositories can contain multiple branches, Code Climate needs to know which the branch to focus on. We refer to this branch as the default." How do I set my default branch? "When adding a private GitHub repository (without entering a URI), or when adding an open source GitHub repository, your default Code Climate branch will always be set to your default Github branch...For all other situations, you'll be prompted to set the default branch...Note: It is currently not possible to change your default branch after adding a repository to Code Climate. In addition, once a repository has been added to Code Climate, changing the default branch in GitHub will not change the default branch in Code Climate.

Answer 1

Code Climate submitted a pull request with the following changes and the warning message went away upon merging.

(fwiw, excellent and prompt customer service)
