Open the terminal and type

  • on OS X 10.8:

    defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

  • on OS X 10.9:

    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

Then you must relaunch finder:

killall Finder

Any file name in OS X prefixed with a '.' is considered "hidden".
