--hidden

The --hidden flag displays hidden files and directories in your tree output.
Hidden files typically start with a dot (.) on Unix-like systems (e.g., .git, .env) or are marked as hidden on Windows.

Usage

# Include hidden files in the tree
show-file-tree  --hidden

Example

Without --hidden

├── 📁 src
│   └── main.py
└── README.md

With --hidden

├── 📁 src
│   └── main.py
├── .env
└── README.md

Tips

• Combine with --gitignore to respect .gitignore but still show hidden files not ignored by Git:

show-file-tree  --hidden --gitignore

• Combine with --format md to generate Markdown documentation including hidden files.
• Useful for project auditing, debugging, or full repo visualization.
