List Files Ordered By Modification Date
The ls command lists the files in a directory. Tacking on the -l flag will list it in long format. By default, everything is listed in lexicographical order. This is what ls -l looks like for this repository.
Sometimes you want a sense of what has been modified and when. Lexicographical order isn't going to help much here. By tacking on the -t flag, the files will be listed in order of their modification dates. Here is ls -lt for the same repository.
See man ls for more details.
