Describe the bug
Attempting to run Synectic with is-hidden-file installed results in the following error:

$ electron-forge start

This error does not appear after running yarn remove is-hidden-file, and based on the error output it appears to be connected with problems running make on the latest version of is-hidden-file.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run yarn start
2. Wait for build to reach the Preparing native dependencies stage
3. See error

Expected behavior
Should compile and run without issue.

Screenshots

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS
• Synectic Version: 1.0.0-beta (branch: feature/base-rebuild)

Additional context
The missing tchar.h file during the CXX compiling of C/C++ code indicates that this is an issue deep within the compilation process; likely occurring during linking with native code. Per the is-hidden-file documentation:

Windows: Check if file hidden using native code.
So the use of native code might be dependent on the underlying system, which would need to be Windows only in this case.

[nelsonni]

For the same reasoning as #379, this issue is no longer relevant. Synectic no longer require any additional libraries (such as is-hidden-file) to work with git status and filesystem commands.
