Showing hidden files on macOS
Depending on your macOS settings, some files may be hidden from view in your Finder window, such as .gitignore
.
- On newer versions of macOS, use the following in a Finder window to view hidden files:
Press the “Command” + “Shift” + “.” (period) keys at the same time.
(The hidden files will show up as translucent in the folder. If you want to obscure the files again, press the same “Command” + “Shift” + “.” (period) combination.)
- On older versions of macOS, use the following command in a Terminal window to view hidden files, and then reopen the Finder window:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
