How to show hidden files (dotfiles) with windows powershell [duplicate]

When I have hidden files, like dotfiles or a .git directory: How can I list those files and directories in Powershell?

Neither Get-ChildItem, dir nor ls seem to show them.

Solution 1:

In order to show such hidden files, use the -Force parameter for the Get-Childitem command.

Get-ChildItem . -Force

You also can use its aliases, with -Force

dir -Force
ls -Force
gci -Force

Also: if you want to delete fully delete e.g. the .git Directory, you may use Delete-Item .\.git -Force

EDIT

According to Get-Help Get-ChildItem -Examples "Example 3" this also works: dir -att h, !h
