We should collect a data point about whether users are using a Boltdir, a local bolt.yaml, or ~/.puppetlabs/bolt. We should be able to include that as a custom dimension on the screen view that we send in the CLI.

On the google analytics side, this can probably be tracked as a session-level metric, as a single user might have multiple projects potentially following different patterns, and we would like to know about that.

We should collect a data point about whether users are using a {{Boltdir}}, a local {{bolt.yaml}}, or {{~/.puppetlabs/bolt}} , default Boltdir which isn't actually there, or an explicitly specified Boltdir . We should be able to include that as a custom dimension on the screen view that we send in the CLI.

On the google analytics side, this can probably be tracked as a _session_-level metric, as a single user might have multiple projects potentially following different patterns, and we would like to know about that.

Research if there's a way to tell if a user is using multiple Boltdirs
