Linux / Unix – Find And List All Hidden Files Recursively

To find and list all hidden files in a directory recursively on a Linux or Unix-like system, you can use the following command:

$ find <directory> -name ".*" -type f

For example, to find all hidden files in the current directory and all of its subdirectories:

$ find . -name ".*" -type f

The find command searches for files matching the specified criteria and -name ".*" specifies to look for files whose names start with a dot (i.e. hidden files). The -type f option restricts the search to only files, not directories.
