Despite having hidden folders turned on, sublime text cannot see invisible folders in the sidebar such as a git repository. How can I fix this?

Mac OSX 10.7.5

Sublime Text 2.0.1

Do you mean in the sidebar? If so, you need to modify the folder_exclude_patterns setting. The default value for this is "folder_exclude_patterns": [".svn", ".git", ".hg", "CVS"]. In your case, you would want to make it "folder_exclude_patterns": [".svn", ".hg", "CVS"] You can access user settings by going to Preferences -> Settings - User. Note that this will be applied across all of your projects. If you only want it for a particular project, you can create project specific settings. http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/projects.html
