This package can now be replaced by dired-omit-mode

[ai-oleynikov]

(use-package dired
  :bind
  (:map dired-mode-map ("." . dired-omit-mode))
  :config
  (setq dired-omit-files (rx (seq bol ".")))
  ;; To hide dot-files by default
  :hook
  (dired-mode . dired-omit-mode))

You need to activate dired-x first:

(use-package dired
  :ensure nil
  :bind
  (:map dired-mode-map ("." . dired-omit-mode))
  :custom
  (dired-omit-files (rx (seq bol ".")))
  :hook
  (dired-mode . dired-omit-mode)
  :init
  (with-eval-after-load 'dired (require 'dired-x)))

Sorry had missed this. I actually switched to using dired-omit-mode with this regex now. Thanks!

[mattiasb]

I added a deprecation notice. Will make the repository read-only eventually.

[pprevos]

A better regex to use is (dired-omit-files "^\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+"), which retains the single and double dot entries so you can still move up the tree, but hides any filenames.

[mattiasb]

You could argue that, but it's subjective. I personally don't use the .. to move up.

The regex I choose matches what this package does which was the goal.
