Basically what I want to do is all in the title. If I want to grant read, write and execute permissions for everybody in a folder then I usually do:
sudo chmod -R 777 *
How can I extend this command to include hidden files and folders (starting with a dot) e.g. like .env? Because in the command above those are not affected.
command-line permissions sudo chmod hidden-files

Universal:
chmod 777 -R ./* ./.[!.]*
Bash has this command
shopt -s dotglob
to also include hidden files in commands (shopt -u dotglob to disable that behaviour) if you want to stick to using sudo chmod -R 777 *.
- It will break your system if you execute it from the wrong directory.
- NEVER use a bare
*but use./*. - the shopt method is more secure than the universal one
