How do you view hidden files in a directory?

To view hidden files in a directory, you can use the ls command with the -a option. This option lists all files, including those that are hidden (files that start with a dot .).

Here’s the command you can use:

ls -a

If you want to see detailed information about the files, including permissions, owner, size, and modification date, you can combine the -a option with the -l option:

ls -la

This will provide a detailed list of all files, including hidden ones.
