Visualstudio-docs: How to view and edit .gitignore and README.md at root of repo inside Visual Studio 2019 for Mac
After I clone repository https://github.com/wilsonmar/github-emojis
I can't figure out how to navigate above the solution folder to the root repo folder where the .gitignore and README.md files are located and be changed from.

You can right-click on the solution and Display Options > Show All Files to view files that aren't in the solution (such as .gitignore or readme files).
You cannot browse _up_ folders from where the solution file is. Right-click and choose Reveal in Finder to view/open those files using the editor of your choice. Note that files beginning with a dot . are often hidden by default in macOS.
