ls -al

I learned you can edit .bashrc (in your home dir) and update the alias for ls to include what I like. It has saved me lots of keystrokes. Mine is ls -lha in addition to whatever color coding stuff is there by default.

Hmm, that’s not working for me. You mean use those as options? ‘ls -eza’?

A lot of distros include a .bashrc with common ls aliases commented out, just waiting for you to activate them if you like.

Another ls alias I’m a fan of is ls -latr which I alias to lt. It gives you a time sorted directory listing with the most recent next to your cursor (helpful for large directories).
