How can I show .git folder in Netbeans
directory, git, netbeans, netbeans-7
Solution
Your solution should work, as illustrated in the comments of "Display hidden dot files and directories in NetBeans":
In Netbeans 7.1 it's also in `Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Files`
^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!htaccess$).*$
Just the remove the `.*` at the end and you're fine.
But all the references I have seen (like my old answer) mention that you need to restart NetBeans to see that updated pattern takes effect. Or at least try a `Source->Scan for External Changes`, as mentioned in "How do I refresh Netbeans workspace?".
Problem
I have a project which I check out remotely from my VM. Now it checks out all files except the one that he doesn't see. Which happens to be the `.git` folder... I already removed the regex from the ``` options->miscellenous->files ``` From ``` ^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!htaccess$).*$ ``` to ``` ^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!htaccess$)$ ``` But the folder itself still doesn't get pulled... Anyone has a solution for this? I am using Netbeans 7.3 64 bit on windows 7.
