[macOS] How to Configure Finder to Show Hidden Files (Dot Files)

I’ll introduce how to configure macOS Finder to show hidden files (dot files).

Show .files Setting

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

Hide .files Setting

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder

That’s all from the Gemba where, as an engineer, I want to display hidden files (dot files) in Finder too.
