Make hidden files and folders visible in Finder. Essential for developers who need to see dotfiles and config directories.

Scope: Finder

macOS hides files and folders that start with a dot (like .git, .env, .zshrc) by default. Enabling this setting makes them visible in Finder.

Essential for developers who need to access configuration files, dotfiles, and hidden directories regularly. You can also toggle this temporarily with Cmd + Shift + . in Finder.
