Show hidden files on Mac

To show hidden files and folders in Finder - open terminal window and paste the following line:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES


Then relaunch Finder application (Option + right button click on dock icon, then select relaunch).
To disable showing of hidden files - do the same procedure with other string:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
