exa: List all files, including hidden files.
$ exa --all
try on your machine
The command "exa --all" lists all the files and directories in the current directory, including hidden files and directories.
"exa" is an alternative to the commonly used "ls" command in Unix-like operating systems. It provides more features and a more colorful output by default.
The option "--all" is used to include hidden files and directories in the listing. Hidden files and directories are those whose names start with a dot (.), and they are typically used to store configuration files and settings that are not meant to be displayed by default.
So, when you run "exa --all", it will show a detailed listing of all the files and directories in the current directory, including the hidden ones.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
