If you are using the WRKLNK command to access IFS directories and you've tried to drill in to see all the files in a Git project, files prefixed with a period or dot (.) are not always all visible in the directory list.
This can be fixed by running the WRKLNK command with the DSPOPT(*ALL) option.
If you use the WRKLNK command with the DSPOPT(*ALL) switch one time, all subsequent WRKLNK commands will retain this setting because the DSPOPT option default to *PRV which means use the last saved setting used for the option.
Run the below command once:
WRKLNK OBJ('/') OBJTYPE(*ALL) DSPOPT(*ALL)
Now try to access a Git repository directory with WRKLNK
Ex: WRKLNK OBJ('/gitrepos/QGPL')
Notice that any files or directories that start with a . are now visible.
