ls -a

And whatmade tool might tell you how all this garbage appeared here if you forgot.

I like the la alias.

Is -alR killed my parents

ll so you don’t even have to move your finger

Doesn’t show dotfiles.

PS1=$(ls -a)

Lulz, I tried that just to see the results. Either the terminal knows to not go crazy, or this fresh install is small enough to not take more than 5 seconds.

Barbarians.

ls -la, for civilized people.

man i just figured out DOS in the 80s i’m slow okay

-lah gang rise up

I like ls -Ap, the -p option is convenient, it puts a / at the end of names if they’re directories. -A is like -a but doesn’t show . and ..

-l is sometimes useful, but a bit cluttered and less readable (at least to me, maybe it wouldn’t be if I were used to using it)

Depends on the distro how that alias is defined (if it is defined)…

That is true, but I would define standard practice like this:
ls -l = ll
And
ls -la = la

-Ahl here! Human-readable sizes and get rid of . and ..!

edit: format code so …! doesn’t look funny

I’m an ls -alh guy, myself.

Do you mean putting the l before the a, or just the l and a flags in general?

Yeah, fair enough.

Human-readable? What, are you some kind of human?

yeah that would make more sense

but if your hand is already on the keyboard, it’s faster to type la than ll since you can move two hands faster than one (if they’re doing the same movement, since with one hand you’d need to do the movement, reset and do it again)
