Viewing Hidden Files on Mac

Kinda bored, thought I would write up a fun tidbit you OS X users could find handy.

How do you view hidden files on a Mac? A quick Google search comes up with the following terminal command:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true 

Thats way annoying though. Quick and easy solution? Put the commands in a bash script (each followed by a killall Finder) for a super quick way to view and hide hidden files!

With TotalTerminal it’s as easy as command + ` and typing hidehidden or viewhidden.
