Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you how to uh
0:05
display or how to show the doggit folder
0:08
which by default doesn't show inside VS
0:11
code. It is completely hidden. So let me
0:14
show you actually what I meant. If I
0:18
just say get init, so it will
0:20
reinitialize existing git repository. So
0:23
inside this path agit folder has been
0:27
created. And if I try to create this git
0:30
folder, it actually tells me that folder
0:33
already exist at this location. But the
0:35
folder is not showing to me. You can see
0:38
it is completely hidden. So now to show
0:40
that folder, it's very easy. You go to
0:43
the settings
0:45
and right here in the search settings
0:47
just search for this excludes.
0:52
Just search for this in the search bar
0:55
and you will actually seekit files are
1:00
disabled or they are not shown. They're
1:02
hidden. So simply you can remove this
1:05
from here. As soon as you remove this
1:07
you will see the dotgit folder will
1:10
instantly show right here. And now you
1:13
can see all these things which are
1:15
contained inside this dotkit folder. The
1:18
second way by which you can also do the
1:20
same thing by going to the user setting
1:22
file and automatically adding this
1:26
files.exclude
1:29
and then putting it to false. You can
1:31
even unhide it. Toggle this and now
1:34
again it is again hidden.
1:38
You can remove this setting.
1:48
So you can remove this folder now
1:53
again reinitialize it
1:56
and now you can see your dotgit folder
1:58
is showing once again. So
2:03
it's very easy. Now you can see that
2:07
you go to the settings
2:09
just
2:11
search for this option which is excludes
2:18
and here you actually
2:24
ignored it. So in this easy way
2:28
you can do this very easily. X
2:33
files do.exclude.
2:40
So you can see that. So this is a way by
2:44
which you can toggle the visibility.
