Show hidden files on Apple Mac
Sometimes is handy to view those hidden files on your mac. The files that usually start with a '.' such as '.example_file_name'.
The quick way since macOS Sierra(10.12) using quick-keys
Simply use these to hide and show.
CMD + SHIFT + .
The older terminal way
This has to be done using the Terminal app found in:
Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
To Show:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall FinderTo Hide:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall FinderPosted in: <
