List newest files in shell

This will display your ten last modified files in the current directory in reverse order so that the newest file is at the bottom for easy copy/pasting. alias lll="ls -ltr | tail" For the newest files at the top: alias lll="ls -lt | head"

Any option you add gets passed to head or tail: lll -n 20 displays 20 entries. You can add this to .zshrc or .bashrc. Don't forget to `source .zshrh` (or .bashrc) in your current terminal to reload the aliases. Image created with @carbon_app 🙏 #shell #tweet100
