If you would like to hide or show some secret files and folders, then you have to follow these steps on Mac.
To show hidden files and folders:
Step 1. Open the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities/)
Step 2. Type defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true at the command prompt.
Step 3. Press return/enter to execute the command.
Note: For the changes to take effect, either log out then log back in again, or relaunch Finder (this can be done from the Force Quit Window or by typing ‘killall Finder’ in a Terminal window).
