Showing All files and directories (dotfiles, hidden due to mention: ex. .gitignore)

[Enzoss100]

I just wanna ask some help for the following situation:

Whatever file is mentioned in .gitgnore it is hidden from the file tree

what file do i add to my config in NVChad so all files, no matter what they are, or where they are mentioned in, if it exists in the file tree, it would show up?

idk if this causes issues, but for context im using neovim no Windows

I'm not familiar with NVChad, however you can use the filter mappings and options to change behaviour.

e.g. I to toggle gitignore files temporarily, filters.git_ignored option to change permanently.

Use g? to view help and show all mappings.
See :help nvim-tree-opts-filters for all filter options.

thanks for this suggestion! will see what works and get back here if i ever get stuck or if i have questions!

I would like to know how did you configure that in nv chad, I'm clueless. How do I override default nvim-tree options using nv chad

[Enzoss100]

actually i just did shift+I because i prefer having it hidden if i dont want to see it

I would just toggle it as needed because there are times i do need to see it and i couldn't find anything in the documentation to toggle it on/off

most times i just toggle it on and then turn it off when it gets distracting
