How do I mark files as hidden on a linux computer via the command line?

Output

To mark files as hidden in Linux, you simply need to add a dot (.) at the beginning of the file name. Files that begin with a dot are automatically treated as hidden files in Linux. Here are two ways to do this: 1. Rename the file using the `mv` command: 

1
mv filename .filename
2. If you want to hide multiple files at once, you can use a loop: 
1
2
3
for file in filename1 filename2 filename3; do
    mv "$file" ".$file"
done
For example: 
1
mv document.txt .document.txt
To verify that the file is hidden: - Use `ls` (hidden files won't show) - Use `ls -a` (shows all files, including hidden ones) Note: Hidden files are still accessible and can be modified; they're just not visible in normal directory listings. To unhide a file, simply rename it to remove the leading dot: 
1
mv .filename filename

ls -a
or

ls -la  # for detailed listing
Note: This is different from Windows' hidden attribute. In Linux, the dot prefix is just a naming convention that the system uses to identify hidden files, and it's respected by most applications and file managers.
