A workaround I have used at times is to create a non-hidden version of the folder, and create a hidden symlink that points to it eg `ln -s ./claude ./.claude`
This didnāt work for me, Obsidian doesnāt show the symlinks, at least not in the Mac version
this didnāt work for me, Obsidian refuses to show the symlinks
+1, trying to get .claude to sync across devices and itās not working
The trick is to do the opposite - store skills in claude and then symlink it to .claude since Claude works with symlinks without problems.
Looks like the obsidian devs just donāt care. I come back from time to time but this is a breaking feature in times of agents. Iām going to cancel my year long subscription because Iāve stopped using obsidian and just do everything in vscode instead. Itās not perfect but itās a critical feature missing and ignoring the community since what 2021 on this issue is simply not acceptable.
+1 for this feature, I canāt believe that from Nov 2021, Obsidian didnāt look at this threadš wow, like why? people are adding +1ās and want this feature
a plus 1 from me - definitely signed in the forums up just for this comment.
My use case was getting my Copilot .github folder to show up in obsidian. Nothing worked including the symlink. I ended up renaming my .github folder to github. Then I created a symlink to the github folder named .github. This worked. So, what I basically did was I gave obsidian a folder name without the dot (github) and gave Copilot a symlink (.github) to that folder. So far,Copilot seems happy to use the symlink and I can see my agent/skill files in Obsidian.
Canāt believe we still donāt get thisā¦.
Like others, I signed up just to +1 
I need the ability to edit my .cursor/skills/* files in Obsidian. They are markdown. Let me edit them for goodness sake!
Yet another regular Obsidian user asking for support for folder names starting with ā.ā especially when so many repositories use .folder structure containing md files.
Another +1
I like the symlink idea (put the files in a non dot folder, then create a symlink to that folder in the .dot folder). That would work for Claude, but it wouldnāt work in Windows.
Hi @johnmaynardgainz @raspacorp @geneorama @8o8 @livesource
If you need dot hidden folders you can use Folder Bridge
Another +1
I use Obsidian in many ways and one of them is to edit the .MDs of my repo.
For the folders starting with a dot this simply impossible : these folders do not appear in the interface and when I try to launch obsidian directly from the .MD file Obsidian is the default application for, it simply open nothing. On top of that is not to an application to decide what I can or cannot do. Should some people need such babysitting the just add an option ākeep hidden files hiddenā and make it active by default.
ā This is not a feature request, this is a request to get an annoying bug corrected.
This is a feature request.
Iād review the previous posts in this topic.

My goodness. I am very glad, Iām not the only person who would greatly appreciate this. 
Dotfiles letās go!
It would be so cool! I also wanted to hide my templates in a `.templates` folder. This would solve my organisation nightmare! ^^
+1
This feature would especially be useful for me reg. AI agents.
+1, using folder bridge atm while the devs finally propose a fix for this. symlinking doesnāt seem to work
This feature is also very important to me! I want to be able to edit my LLM skills which right now are in e.g. a `.claude/skills` directory, and right now I cannot edit them from Obsidian.
