I want open default " .gitignore " file in text editor But I can not able to see it.
How can I see in directory?
Kind regards.
That rather depends on which operating system you are using and which editor. For example, on Ubuntu I can just use gedit .gitignore
Not sure why you are asking this on a Ruby on Rails list as it seems to have nothing to do with Ruby or Rails.

It is right.
I have not asked question clearly, sorry for that.
When we run rails command, then rails command will create default " .gitignore" file in application root directory. BUT I can't able to see " .gitignore " file in application root directory.
How can I see it?
Kind regards.

Still you have not told us the most important information, which operating system are you using (Windows, Ubuntu etc)? You really should be asking this on a Windows or other forum however. How to see hidden files is nothing to do with Ruby on Rails. The fact that the file was created by Rails is irrelevant.
You could try googling for how to see hidden files in <insert your OS here>

Sorry for asking this question in rails. I am using ubuntu operating system.
Thank you very much for your help.
In Nautilus (the file explorer) Ctrl+h will show/hide hidden files, or you can show them via the menus in Nautilus.

If you open a terminal window you can use the unix command ls -als to get a long listing of all files in the current directory. In the same terminal window the command man ls will give you the manual page for the ls command.
