Can't find .config folder in Ubuntu 14.04?

Question

I'm reading instruction to move files into .config folder tree specifically ~/.config/geany/filedefs/, but can't find it in Ubuntu 14.04.

Solution 1

Generally any .folder are hidden folders

.config is a hidden folder under home. You can view hidden files in any folder View--> Show Hidden Files or Ctrl + H

Solution 2

Since .config is a hidden folder it will not appear in your File Manager by default. To be able to view it, open your home folder and press Ctrl + H. It will show all the hidden folders in your home directory.

To hide the folders, press Ctrl + H again.
