binder/jupyter_config.json not used

[deeplook]

Starting from https://gist.github.com/jtpio/4a6a34da66b32249e28df718ec30e4d7 I've added a jupyter_config.json file to my binder folder in order to run JupyterLab with the collaborative mode, but it is not recognized/found/applied. Only when I put it in the root directory it was applied.

It would be nice to have this file recognized in the binder directory as well, like requirements.txt, postBuild etc.

Thanks @deeplook for opening this.

Normally it's possible to have it in the binder folder but then you might a start file too. There is something similar in the JupyterLab repo but with jupyter_notebook_config.py: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/tree/master/binder
