Live-share: .gitignored files can not be viewed by guests

Created on 30 Mar 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: MicrosoftDocs/live-share

I understand from this issue: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues/1057 that .gitignored files are essentially private and will not be shown in the guest file tree. However, even when following a host or clicking through to the definition these files can not be viewed by the guest.

What was your system configuration?
Product and Version [VS/VSCode]: VS Code 1.43
OS Version[macOS/Windows]: Mac OS 10.15.3
Live Share Extension Version: 1.0.1847
Target Platform or Language [e.g. Node.js]: Typescript

@jleider Thanks for reaching out. I'll add our PMs as this feels like a feature request. @lostintangent @fubaduba

I feel that this would be a useful feature with the option to turn on/off under a preference flag controlled by the host.
