Add instructions for viewing hidden files on Mac OS #19
Description
Issue #16: Using a gitignore file, the .gitignore file is hidden on Macs, so step 1 is challenging if you're not already familiar with viewing the hidden files. I suggest possible modifications (in bold), worded and formatted as you see fit:
Action: Add a file and then gitignore it.
- First, open the .gitignore file that is in your local directory using a text editor (for example, Notepad++). It should be completely empty. If you are using a Mac, you may need to click Command + Shift + . (period) while in the local directory in Finder to see and open the hidden .gitignore file.
- Next, download this image (right click and choose "Save image as") and save as wss-wu-dryville.jpg in your ds-gitflows-[username] folder.
- Now in Git Bash, run ls to "list" the items in your current working directory. You should see the following: dryville_story.md, README.md and wss-wu-dryville.jpg. Note that the .gitignore file doesn't show up with ls because it is technically a "hidden" file (starts with a .). To see the hidden file type ls -a.
