I am developing a node.js application with cloud9 online IDE. I need to edit the .gitignore file, but I can not see it because it is a hidden file. Does anybody knows how to show hidden files in the cloud9 file tree?
Go to upper left Cloud9 menu item, then select the preferences option.
In the settings, select tree & navigate, and then you can modify the pattern of hidden files.
To show all, yo can erase all the text box, to see the .gitignore file, delete only the ".*" in the pattern. This will make the .gitignore file appear in the file tree.
