Using the
mvcommand:mv filename .filenameReplace
filenamewith the name of the file you want to hide. This renames the file to.filename, making it hidden.Creating a new hidden file: You can also create a new hidden file directly by prefixing the filename with a dot:
touch .hiddenfile
To view hidden files later, use the ls -a command.
