If you want to access these files, you need to make it visible.īefore reading this guide, you may think to make hidden files to viewable is hard. In Mac OS X, by default, all files that starting with a dot (“.”) before the file name are always invisible, including. One day, I was wondering how to view system files that are hidden like in Windows? With the help of Google and information from a few sources, show or hide hidden files never been easier, especially doing that using short alias commands instead of typing long commands, which aren’t easy to remember. At that moment, I was just learning how to use this new operating system, from how to install or uninstall apps, copy and paste files, as well as, take screenshots.
My story is that I just switched to Mac OS X a few months ago.
There is a bit more complicated and require you to type a few commands in Terminal in Mac OS X to show those hidden files. Did you know how to show hidden files on Mac OS X computer yet? It’s not similar to what you do in Windows.
