NX is unable to find projects located inside directories that starts with a dot

[upsetbit]

Current Behavior

NX fails to locate projects that are located inside directories that starts with a dot -- (.github, .config etc).

Expected Behavior

A command such as nx run .github:lint should run without issues.

GitHub Repo

https://github.com/e-graveyard/nx-examples

Steps to Reproduce

1. clone the repository and install the dependencies (I've used npm i --legacy-peer-deps)
2. execute npx nx run working:say-hello; it should run without problems (project.json under tools dir)
3. execute npx nx run not-working:say-hello; it should fail with a "not found" error (project.json under .circleci dir)
