• The Python extractor now extracts files in hidden directories by default. If you would like to skip files in hidden directories, add paths-ignore: ["**/.*/**"] to your Code Scanning config. If you would like to skip all hidden files, you can use paths-ignore: ["**/.*"]. When using the CodeQL CLI for extraction, specify the configuration (creating the configuration file if necessary) using the --codescanning-config option.
