Hide hidden(dot) files in github atom editor

Question

I am very new to Github Atom editor. It always shows hidden files such as .git, .sass in the side pane.

How to hide hidden files(dot files) in atom editor's side pane.

Answer 1

Edit > Preferences > Packages

In the field below "Installed Packages" type: "Tree View". This package has a few settings you can toggle, "Hide Ignored Names" is what you're looking for.

It's a really buried setting, not sure why.

You can also add it to your config:

'tree-view':     'hideIgnoredNames': true 

Answer 2

1. From the menu bar go to Edit > Preferences > Packages type in the filter "tree-view" click on the "Settings" button of this package and then check the "Hide Ignored Names" choice.

2. Now go to Edit > Preferences > Core . In the Ignored Names box enter .* this will hide all the files/folders which are usually hidden in other file explorers.

If you want to hide normal files/folders just add them to this box separated by a Comma , for example : .*, Videos, Music
