I am developing a node.js application with cloud9 online IDE. I need to edit the .gitignore file, but I can not see it because it is a hidden file. Does anybody knows how to show hidden files in the cloud9 file tree?

The method described in the other answer permanently modifies the pattern for files which cloud9 will consider hidden. There is also a quick way to temporarily display hidden files.
In the upper corner of the tree there is a gear button which opens a popup with an option to show hidden file
