Motivation

During participants setup their presentation for the SCB TechX's Hackathon pitching. I found that some of their desktop has plenty of screenshots, folders or some files that unnecessary their presentation. How might we have a single command or cli without an user has to remember the command or googling command to hide their desktop icons?

Demo

⚠️ This CLI supports only on macOS!

Installation

First, install the cli

# npm
$ npm install -g hide-files

# yarn
$ yarn global add hide-files

# pnpm
$ pnpm add -g hide-files

Usage

Then execute the command to hide your cluttered desktop icons 🤫

$ hide-files hide

Unhide all files and folders in Desktop

$ hide-files unhide

Special Thanks 🙏

This project is inspired by the Raycast's hide-fiiles extension that is fully open source.
