.config directory does not exists after upgrade to Catalina After upgrading to Catalina the .config dir doesn't seem to exist in the home directory of my user.

How can I fix this? I doesn't seem to be able to simply create it because folders starting with a dot are system folder.

Currently my home dir looks like this:



No wonder some apps like visual studio and brew are complaining about the missing .config-folder.
.config starts with a dot, so it is hidden by default, and ls won’t show hidden files unless you ask it to with the -a option.


Use ls -a to list all files/folders including hidden ones.
Try ls -a ~/.config to specifically list the folder you’re looking for.
Create the folder if it doesn’t exist with mkdir ~/.config.
