Added ability to define dotfiles to be exposed in file picker

[KenCox94]

completed to resolve #5724

[penguincoder]

Can you help me understand how to use this? I am personally pretty vested in this feature since I am doing an absolute ton of work with Github Actions right now. I have cloned your branch, then built and installed it. I have tried leaving the default configuration in place and putting both include-hidden = [".github"] and include-hidden = ["github"].

When I open the file picker <space>f and then try and type .github/workflows, by the time I hit the / the file picker is completely empty. Oddly enough, .gitignore works okay, but not .github.

Am I missing something?

I think this may be because .github is a directory and .gitignore, .gitattributes are files? Let me investigate this further and Ill try and have a fix for this by this weekend!

@penguincoder fixed it!

you wont need .github in your config.yaml as it was requested as a default

[penguincoder]

That is the ticket! It's working very well now, thanks!

I guess it's not a typical workflow to have a hidden directory that you need to edit a lot of files in.

Has there been any progress on this? Do you just need to have it reviewed? I have been using this for the past month(s) and it's been working great. Thanks again!

@penguincoder
as far as I know. Im just waiting on a review. It's saying my merge is blocked due to that.

This is covered by #7423 (with negative ignore patterns both globally and pre workspace). I don't see us adding anything more purpose-built than that

closing as #8099 was merged
