Create hidden files
Ever wanted to hide some files in a folder without creating a secret folder? Well, you can by using github repositories, branches, and the gitbash command line.. Here are steps to take to work with: 1. Download git. https://git-scm.com/downloads and open gitbash after it’s installed. 2. Go to github.com, create an account, and then create a new repository by clicking the plus sign on the top. 3. Go to your repository, click on “Clone or download”, and copy the https link. 4. Go to the gitbash application and change the working directory to your desired location for the repository folder. For my example, I’ll put it in my desktop by writing “cd /c/Users/israe/Desktop” 5. In the gitbash command line, type in git clone and paste in the URL you copied from github. 6. In the gitbash command line, change your working directory to the github folder you cloned. For example, “cd /c/Users/israe/Desktop/myrep 7. On your computer, transfer files that you want into that folder. 8. Go back to gitbash and create and switch to a new branch. The command is "git checkout -b [branch name]” Now, you can add files that you want into that branch. Later, when you want those files hidden, you can just switch to the master branch using github.
