The most straight-forward way is to tell the shell you want the dot files:
$ ls -a ./ ../ .uu $ echo * * $ shopt -s dotglob $ echo * .uu $ shopt -u dotglob $ echo * *
I find that
ls .??*
usually works well.
actually, it doesn't, since it wouldn't match the perfectly valid ".a". it's a popular puzzle to come up with a glob that matches all hidden thingies, without matching "." or "..". and the solution is ...
$ echo .[!.]*
why it works left as an exercise for the reader.
