## hidefs

Simple bind mount, but hides some files.

A fuse filesystem written in go

---

If the projects use different vcs or different tooling sharing code beetween projects or local overwrite dependencies can be <censored>. +
Local overrides can be committed, git submodules are error prone if you are not aware of them, and so on.

I just want a proper plan9'ish file system view… +
So I need a filtering bind mount, didn't find one I wanted to use and created this project.

Its a bind mount that can hide files like you configured it, f.e. `.git` directories or `go.mod` files.

Symlinks are resolved: if the target lies inside the source tree, the symlink is shown as its target (a regular file or directory). Symlinks pointing outside the source tree, dangling symlinks, and other non-regular files are automatically hidden.
