Hello, I made an archive on Windows (winrar) with the site, unzip it in ubuntu 16.04 and the .git folder disappears, but it doesn't matter, all the .htaccess files also disappeared. Tell me how you can unzip without losing files?

    Most likely, the files are not lost, but they are simply not visible by default. There is such a rule for files starting with a dot. - αλεχολυτ
  • And how to display them, also when I deleted the folder with the unzipped site, I got an error in the basket (I can't open or display it) - Vladislav

    if you are looking under GUI, press Ctrl + H. In the console 'ls -a' - αλεχολυτ

The dot at the beginning of the file or directory defaults to it.

To show hidden files or folders in the standard Nautilus file manager, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H or View -> Show hidden files
