When making sure that iPhone project could be installed as an exact copy into a brand new computer via version control (git), I just realized that .gitignore file was missing. Added under version control, but now would like to add that file also into Xcode project for easy viewing and editing.
When using "Control-click + Add Files to myProject..." popup menu, I can't see any filenames starting with . (that's a dot). How can I add my .gitignore file into Xcode project?
Command-Shift-. and the hidden files will appear, including .gitignore. .gitignore file and press the Add button.This works in any app, not just Xcode. It's an obscure feature of NSOpenPanel.
