Seeing Hidden Files in Linux

To see hidden files in Linux, you can use the `ls` command in the terminal. Here are a couple of methods:

Using ls command:

Open a terminal and run the following command:

ls -a

The `-a` option with the `ls` command lists all files, including hidden ones (those starting with a dot).

Using a File Manager:

If you are using a graphical file manager, the steps may vary depending on the file manager you’re using. However, most file managers have an option to show hidden files. For example:

– In Nautilus (used in GNOME desktop environment), you can press “Ctrl + H” to toggle the visibility of hidden files.

– In Dolphin (used in KDE), you can go to “View” in the menu and check “Show Hidden Files.”

Remember that hidden files in Linux are usually denoted by a dot (.) at the beginning of their names.
