Output

**Using the `chflags` command:** 

1
chflags hidden [file or folder path]
For example, to hide the "MySecretFile.txt" file: 
1
chflags hidden MySecretFile.txt
**Using the `SetFile` utility:** 
1
SetFile -a V MySecretFile.txt
Here, "-a V" sets the file's "hidden" attribute. **Using the `xattr` command:** 
1
xattr -w com.apple.FinderInfo 64 MySecretFile.txt
This sets the "kMDItemIsHidden" attribute, which is equivalent to the "hidden" attribute. **Using the `Finder`** Select the file or folder you want to hide, press **Command + I** to open the Get Info window, and check the "Hidden" box under "General". **Note:** * Hidden files will not show up in the Finder by default. * To show hidden files in the Finder, press **Command + Shift + . (period)**. * To hide files again, repeat the above process and uncheck the "Hidden" box.
