|

|
||||
## Bash ls
|
||||
|
||||
`ls` is a command on Unix-like operating systems to list contents of a directory, for example folder and file names.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls [options] [folder_path]
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can list the items in any directory without even entering the directory. Consider you are in a directory with folders Test1 and Test2. You're in the parent directory you can list all files in Test1 as follows:
|
||||
`ls Test1`
|
||||
|
||||
Most used options:
|
||||
|
||||
* `-a`, all files and folders, including ones that are hidden and start with a `.`
|
||||
* `-l`, List in long format
|
||||
* `-G`, enable colorized output.
|
||||
* `-s`, List file size.
|
||||
* `-R`, displays the contents of the directory, and its subdirectories.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example:
|
||||
|
||||
List files in `freeCodeCamp/guide/`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls ⚬ master
|
||||
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md bin package.json utils
|
||||
CONTRIBUTING.md gatsby-browser.js plugins yarn.lock
|
||||
LICENSE.md gatsby-config.js src
|
||||
README.md gatsby-node.js static
|
||||
assets gatsby-ssr.js translations
|
||||
```
