how to import .ccsproject which is hidden in linux?

I saved all my ccs project to source control and push to git hub.

When I git cloned the saved files to my repository in linux, I don't see the .ccsproject files by ls -l.

I can see .ccsproject by ls -a.

After mapping my linux repo folder to my windows drive, I can see the .ccsproject file but it is hidden and I can't change the attribute.

Any idea?

  • I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how to view the hidden files in Linux or how to import the project? For importing the project, it should not matter that the file is hidden as long as it exists in the directory.

  • Let me describe my setup first.
    I'm using CCS 5.3 and have a working project in windows machine. To save this project, I push all my files & project files.. to git hub.
    To retrieve the project I saved in git, I git cloned to my repository(in linux machine) with all the files I saved.
    Then I mapped my network folder(in linux machine) to my windows machine drive(say s:) in windows explorer.
    I can see all the files in windows explorer but the attributes are hidden and I can't change these attributes. I guess I mapped this drive from the linux machine and in linux/unix files begin with . are hidden..

    So I'm wondering the reason why I can't import the project is the ccs project files (for example .ccsproject, .setting folder,....) are hidden.


    You can reproduce my issue by push any ccs project to git and git clone the ccs project that you saved. Then try to import the retrieved ccs project.
    I hope you understand my question now.
  • I personally have not used git, but am surprised that you are not able to import a cloned project.
