For example, in Java you get a .class file for every single .java file, if you are using BlueJ you also get another .cxtc file for every class, for Latex you get a .log, .pdf, .dvi and a .synctex. Those files are of course all excluded through .gitignore and I will probably never ever need to edit or show those in VS Code because they are only a product of the source files.\r\n\r\nIt would reduce the clutter a lot if VS Code would give these files a greyed out color.\r\n\r\nAt the same time, I think the .git folder should show up in VS Code, just like .vscode or node_modules does. It should be greyed out like ignored files, but there are many interesting files in there that a user might want to edit, like `info/exclue` and the hooks."}}
