Visual Studio Code: .git folder/file hidden

October 20, 2022 by Tarik

By default Visual Studio Code excludes files in a folder using the following settings:

"files.exclude": {
    "**/.git": true,
    "**/.svn": true,
    "**/.hg": true,
    "**/.DS_Store": true
}

You can change your user settings or workspace settings to show the .git folder by adding these lines:

"files.exclude": {
     "**/.git": false
}
