I keep forgetting the command to show or hide hidden files in my Finder. So keeping this as a post as a reference to myself. Hope its useful to someone else as well. =)

You will need to copy and paste the commands below into your Terminal application.





To show hidden files,

$ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
$ killall Finder

To hide back,

$defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
$killall Finder
