**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Requests and ideas
It would also be great I was able to see gitignored files in the file browser. For example I want to be able to edit my .env.local file from there.

Research direction
Start at the file browser entry point and trace how gitignored paths are filtered. Check the behavior using a repository containing .env.local, then verify that gitignored files appear in the browser and can be edited as requested.
