How to display hidden files in mac?

So I am receiving this error in my terminal:

-bash(637,0x7fffa5467340) malloc: *** mach_vm_map(size=18446744071947448320) failed (error code=3)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
-bash: xrealloc: cannot allocate 18446744071947447824 bytes

After doing some research, I believe this may have something to do with my .bash_profile.

However I only know how to open hidden files via terminal and since I cannot access it (because of this error), how can I open hidden files via Finder?
