ls command

The ls command is used to list all the files in the current directory

ls
 
directory/ file.md file2.md

It’s possible to add the -a flag to also show hidden files

ls -a
 
.git/ directory/ file.md file2.md .config

With the -l (lowercase L) flag, we can list the files in the long format, which includes more details like the date of creation, the source file for symbolic links and the permission.

ls -l
