This usage of fast-glob (https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/master/packages/nx/src/config/workspaces.ts#L584-L588) does not specify the dot option, which means it defaults to false (see https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-glob#user-content-dot).

[jonathanmorley]

Example use-case for needing dot-prefixed directories (pre-empting the question):
We have a monorepo containing github actions, and github actions workflows for use across the organization. It is useful to be able to model these as nx projects.
Github actions workflows must live in a .github/workflows directory, but nx will not recognise package.jsons in the .github directory

Yeah, that makes sense 👍. Want to open a PR to add it?
