That folder opens, but hidden files elsewhere remain hidden.
Hidden files on Mac OS are files and folders that are not visible in Finder by default. These files are usually system files, configuration files, or files that are not meant to be edited by users. Some common examples of hidden files include:
killall Finder restarts the Finder so the change takes effect. Your open Finder windows will reopen.
Apps like , Onyx , or TotalFinder provide GUI switches to show hidden files. They essentially run the same defaults command behind the scenes.
ls -a ~/
