How to hide a file in Atom

I have a really huge webpack compiled javascript file in my project, and I'd like for it to be hidden in Atom since I keep clicking on it by accident, making Atom freeze.

How do I hide specific files in Github Atom Editor?

A quick way to hide a file would be to add it to the ignore-list in settings (open preferences, go to settings, under Core Settings you'll find Ignored Names). Then to hide those from the tree view go to Packages, search for tree-view, open it's settings and make sure that Hide Ignored Names is checked.

If you're using a git-repository, for example, and don't need the file to be checked into the repository, it'd be cleaner to just add the file to .gitignore. Atom respects git-ignores and also hides them from the tree-view (as long as Hide VCS Ignored Names in the tree-view-settings is enabled).
