To make sure your system is functioning correctly lets try running some commands.
Entering pwd should print out your current working directory and should look a little something like this.
Entering ls should list you all files or directories in your current directory.
But by using the -lat option we are asking the bash terminal to list files in a long format, showing hidden files and sorting them by date and time. l corresponding to long format, a corresponding to showing hidden files, and t corresponding to sorting them by date and time.
You might receive an error if the directory you're working in has too many files to display.
