Hiding a file or directory under Linux






To hide a file or directory in Linux, just have its name be preceded by a period (.).

For example:

. bash_history
. bash_profile
. ssh

Note that by doing so you are not really hiding the files because, using the option "-a" from the ls command or by selecting "Show hidden files" in the Explorer tab of Gnome or KDE, you can see those files.
