If you’ve been longing for your Mac finder to show all the files on disk, then this command is for you. Run on the console:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUENow you’ll be able to see all the .config files in your home directory and all the normal Unix directories on the root.
killall Finder

I like this dashboard widget to toggle the hidden files off and on. That way you dont have to look at the hidden files all the time.
