Toggle Gitignored Files in Explorer

About this fork

This is a maintained fork of Hide Git Ignored by Chris Bibby, whose original project was archived in 2022 and delisted from the VS Code Marketplace. Full credit for the original extension goes to Chris Bibby; this fork revives it under the coilmark publisher with bug fixes and updated tooling. It was released as "Hide Git Ignored (Revived)" through v0.1.0 and renamed in v0.2.0.

This VSCode extension adds additional functionality to the .gitignore setting added to VSCode v1.68 (May 2022) which provided the option of hiding of files that are excluded in a .gitignore file from the explorer view.

Features

Context menu to show / hide
Status bar to indicate current setting

How to use

Action	Command Palette
Show files excluded in .gitignore	Show Gitignored Files
Hide files excluded in .gitignore	Hide Gitignored Files

You can also toggle via the .gitIgnore status bar item (shown when the workspace contains a .gitignore file) or the Explorer context menu.

Key bindings

This extension ships no default keybinding (the one in the original collided with Toggle Developer Tools on Windows/Linux). To bind your own keys, open Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (Ctrl+K Ctrl+S / Cmd+K Cmd+S), search for gitignoredFiles.hide and gitignoredFiles.show, and assign a key to each command.
