## Listing options
Obviously we know that in order to list the files and sub-directories in our current directory we use `ls` but here are some of the most useful of the different modifiers:
* `**ls -a**`
* list and include hidden dot files
* `**ls -l**`
* list with user permissions, file-size and date-modified (most detailed)
* `**ls ***`
* list organised by folders one level deep
## Navigation shorthands
* `cd -`
* Return to the directory you were last in
* `!!`
* Repeat the last command
