Hey Ash, I was perusing your nicely curated Mac setup :) I'm an old mac hack myself (used to be called a MacHead).

Here's one you might consider adding to your .bash_profile (or the equivalent zsh)..

alias show='defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1 && killall Finder'
alias hide='defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0 && killall Finder'

Useful if I want to see all those invisible files in the finder.

Cheers!

@cjazz There's also a shortcut for that: shift command . which is a toggle. It even works in open/save dialog boxes.

@OliverTaylor this is good stuff but its like a toggle which later(restart of computer) goes off...

@ashfurrow seems GIF Brewery has disappeared from the app store! It's my daily tool
