Terminal Commands to Show/Hide Hidden Files in Mac OSX Lion

1 month ago

by Rachel in Tech

I recently purchased a MacBook Air in September for my birthday. One of the first things I noticed was that the operating system doesn’t show the ~/Library directory. It keeps annoying me, so after some researching I found the Terminal command to show hidden files. I put them into my aliases in my .zshrc which can be found in my fork of the Oh My Zsh! GitHub repository, but also posted them here for convenience.

These commands will either show/hide the hidden files and then relaunch Finder.app to show the changes.

alias show_hidden='defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES && killall Finder && open /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app'
alias hide_hidden='defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO && killall Finder && open /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app'

A few months ago I found the oh-my-zsh repository on GitHub and decided to play around with/use it and made a quick lightening talk about it for the people at work. I also forked the project and made my own theme eponiously named “rachel.”

This morning I got a note saying it was accepted into the main branch and is publicly available when you pull it down. If you’re using oh-my-zsh or interested in trying it out, check out my theme!
