You need to use the find command to list all hidden files recursively on a Linux or Unix like systems. You can also use the ls command to list hidden files.
The find command will begin looking in the starting directory you specify and proceed to search through all accessible subdirectories. You may specify more than one starting directory for searching. Display pathnames of matching files. Execute command cmd on a file.
1) Counting files and directories in Directory with tree command. The tree command with the -a option will count all together (files and directories) recursively. The below example shows everything in detail. Remove the '-a' option to exclude hidden files in the tree command output.
To exclude multiple directories, OR them between parentheses. And, to exclude directories with a specific name at any level, use the -name primary instead of -path .
Try
find /home/tom/project -type d -name '.*' -prune -o -name .log.txt -print
