How to include the hidden files/directories?

I guess that the trick should be in src array passed to the bulk function.

thats a good question. so your not seeing hidden files in the archive?

sometimes hidden files are in dot folders too so you would most likely need ['.*/**/*', '.*/*'] or dot: true. haven't personally tried this but should get you going in direction.

Include .dot files in normal matches and globstar matches. Note that an explicit dot in a portion of the pattern will always match dot files.

bulk relies on glob to provide the list and it should work beyond that.

I actually need to archive a git repository, including the .git directory. When I do: src: ['.*/**/*', '.*/*'], nothing happens...

If I remove the src and add dot: true, I get:

     var exclusion = pattern.indexOf('!') === 0;
                            ^
TypeError: Cannot call method 'indexOf' of undefined

(/lib/util/file.js:26)

sorry it would be:

dot: true with src: ['**/*'] most likely.

i personally haven't done this but its just a matter of finding the right glob pattern.

it also possible that you might not need the dot: true as **/* should match files in any subdir iirc.

if you want to get real specific, you could try .git/**/* too

Thanks!

**/* didn't include the .git directory. However .git/**/* worked.

{ expand: true, src: ["*", ".git/**/*"], cwd: "...", dest: "..." }

One more question: how can I include all directories and files, recursively? The correspondent of zip -r foo.zip foo/.

[ctalkington]

** should cover that with dot:true to make it match any dot files, i imagine

Thanks!
