unhide hidden files in Mac

I learned something lately. Unhide hidden files in Mac.

Well, it's easy.
First, you have to open Terminal from application, and type the command below:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

killall Finder


and then to change the hidden files to be unhidden, simply:

choose the selected hidden files
get info
rename the Names & Extension
done

and then to hide the unhidden files, simply retype the command and change TRUE to FALSE.

voila.. you're done
