showing location of credentials

[ahoward]

I am at a loss debugging and issue.... I was having auth issues (wrong key scope) and eventually worked around this. However, I in the process I discovered that my .gem/credentials were not, in fact, stored in the location but, instead, where stored in .local/share/gem/

I cannot seem to find any reference to this online, or in the code so, I am befuddled.

1. Any thoughts on why gem signin would produce credentials there, instead of the normal spot and
2. Is there (there should be) a way to display which credentials location the gem command is using?

TY!
