Mac: Showing Hidden Files in Finder

Hi all,
I'm back today with another tip: how to display hidden files in your Mac's finder. I ran into the problem when I was looking for some configuration files. Here's how to do it:

Open you terminal and type the following command:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

That's it. In some cases, you may have to restart the Finder to see the files. Or you may not have to.

In any case, good luck!
