I've got a new project and I copied a .gitignore file from another scala project.  I did F5 in the Navigator view, but Scala IDE doesn't show .gitignore.  I initialized git and it also doesn't show the .git/ directory.

I can't get any of the views in Scala IDE to show git related files or directories.  It does show other hidden files like .classpath and .project, though.

How do I get it to show me git files?

Are you sure that there are any git related files in the project? Note, that projects often are located in subdirectories of your root location (where also your git files are). Therefore, the git files wouldn't be shown in the project since they are not part of it.

It turns out that when I imported my project it somehow got copied into the Scala IDE workspace, giving me two copies of my project.  I created the git files in the original project, not the copy in the workspace.  When I created a new workspace and imported the project again the git files showed up in Navigator view.

 

Sorry for the false alarm.  I would like to know how I ended up with two copies of the project.  I never put my project source files in an Eclipse workspace because it makes using other IDEs difficult.

In the project import dialog one can select if the project should be copied into the workspace or not.
