The command "Get-ChildItem -Hidden" is a PowerShell command used to retrieve hidden items in the specified location or directory.
Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:
- "Get-ChildItem": This is a cmdlet (short for command-let) used in PowerShell to list the items (files and directories) in a specific location.
- "-Hidden": This is a parameter that modifies the behavior of the "Get-ChildItem" cmdlet. By including "-Hidden" as a parameter, it instructs the command to retrieve only the hidden items within the specified location. Hidden items are the ones whose "hidden" attribute is set.
In summary, executing the "Get-ChildItem -Hidden" command will list all the hidden items in the current directory (or the directory you specify), including hidden files and directories.
