## Quick solution

Move the focus to the file browser (&lt;kbd&gt;⌥⌘⇥&lt;/kbd&gt;) and show invisibles (&lt;kbd&gt;⌥⌘i&lt;/kbd&gt;)(key names: option/alt+command/windows+i/eye). All invisible files will appear in the file browser. Press &lt;kbd&gt;⌥⌘i&lt;/kbd&gt; again to hide them.

## Permanent solution

If you want to always show some dotfiles (for instance `.htaccess`), you can either add them in _Preferences &gt; Projects &gt; Include files matching…_
or add the list of files you want to show to the `include` array in one of:

- `~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Global.tmProperties` (same as using Preferences)
- `~/.tm_properties` (global)
- `.tm_properties` (inside a specific directory/project)

You can add all dotfiles (`.*`) but I don&#39;t recommend it since it can be a lot of clutter.
That said, you can also exclude files with the `exclude` array.

You can modify the behavior of the file browser via the config file ~/.tm_properties

To list all dotfiles and directories, you can set:


    include = &quot;{$include,.*}&quot;

If you want to exclude some of those, for example the .git directory, modify the exclude variable:

    exclude = &quot;{$exclude,.git}&quot; 

There are many more options, check the Textmate site as an entry point for whats possible: http://blog.macromates.com/2011/git-style-configuration/

You can do this in the preferences of Textmate 2.

Navigate to: Textmate -&gt; Preferences -&gt; Projects. You should see two fields, one for including files, and one for excluding. I replaced the value of &quot;Include files matching&quot; with `{*,.*}` so it includes all normal and hidden files. I then just add the hidden files I want to exclude to the &quot;Exclude files matching&quot; field, such as `.git` and `.DS_Store`.

Hello,

I am developing my first App using android. The App will have to connect to an online database to store user data.

I am looking for a cloud storage with a MySQL database included. However, can my App connect directly to this MySQL database and push and pull data from it? Or is there other things I need to do?

Many thanks for any suggestions,

I recently upgraded to Textmate 2 and now my dotfiles are not showing up in the file browser. Obviously, this is important when working with stuff like `.htaccess` files.

Is there a way to enable this feature?

Github announced [Atom](https://atom.io/) which is very similar to Sublime. Even some keyboard shortcuts like &lt;kbd&gt;⌘ + P&lt;/kbd&gt;, &lt;kbd&gt;⌘ + Shift + P&lt;/kbd&gt; etc. are same.  

1. How is Atom different from Sublime?  
2. Does it include IDE features like build tools, function definition jumps, documentations, etc.?
3. Has anyone using Sublime got a Beta invitation to point out the differences?
4. Can I use the themes, schemes and packages from Sublime as is, like Sublime could do with **text mate**.

I&#39;m using Visual Studio Code for working and I use `ctrl-P` command to search for files in my directory.


The problem appears when I want to search for another file, it opens it in the place of the first searched file, closing it.

Is any setting for avoiding this pain?

I&#39;m confused about what&#39;s the correct way to ignore the contents of a directory in git.

Assume I have the following directory structure:

    my_project  
         |--www  
             |--1.txt  
             |--2.txt
         |--.gitignore

 
What&#39;s the difference between putting this:

    www

And this?

    www/*

The reason I&#39;m asking this question is: In git, if a directory is empty, git won&#39;t include such empty directory in repository. So I was trying the solution that is add an extra .gitkeep file under the directory so that it won&#39;t be empty. When I was trying that solution, if in the .gitignore file, I write like below:

    www
    !*.gitkeep

It doesn&#39;t work(My intention is to ignore all contents under www but keep the directory). But if I try the following:

    www/* 
    !*.gitkeep

Then it works! So I think it must has some differences between the two approaches.

I&#39;m in the process of cleaning up all my config files in an attempt to make them as readable as possible. I&#39;ve been looking for a style guide on the use of quotes while exporting paths in, for example, a `~/.bashrc` file:

    export PATH=&quot;/users/me/path:$PATH&quot;

vs 

    export PATH=/users/me/path:$PATH

The Google [shell style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/shellguide.html#s5.7-quoting) guide suggests avoiding quotes for path names. In contrast, a lot of the popular dotfiles repos (such as Zach Holman&#39;s [here](https://github.com/holman/dotfiles/blob/75183cecb9d7c7c4a7cf5e9301cefffd2abf8ef7/system/_path.zsh)) use quotes. Are there any situations when it is an advantage to use quotes in the path?

Should I use quotes in environment path names?
