Show system files / Show git ignore in osx

Question

By default it is not possible to see .gitignore files in osx. What is command to reveal these files?

Answer 1

It's possible you might just not have a .gitignore file. If you don't have one, you can create it like this:

>touch ~/.gitignore

And then edit it however you'd like. Git will automatically check this file, without any additional configuration!
