I would add 2 useful commands: ls -at will show the files sorted by time. The newest will appear first.
The second command that I highly recommend is for those who don't know which command to apply. A highly educative learning tool. For instance man -k directory will print all the commands related to directory that can be applied. A partially output of the above command is: mdel (1) - delete an MSDOS file mdeltree - recursively delete an MSDOS directory and its contents mdeltree (1) - recursively delete an MSDOS directory and its contents mdir (1) - display an MSDOS directory mdu (1) - display the amount of space occupied by an MSDOS directory mkdir (2) - create a directory mkdir (3p) - make a directory mkdirat (2) - create a directory relative to a directory file descriptor mkdtemp (3) - create a unique temporary directory mkfifoat (3) - make a FIFO (named pipe) relative to a directory file descriptor mkfontdir (1) - create an index of X font files in a directory mkfontdir (1x) - create an index of X font files in a directory mklost+found (8) - create a lost+found directory on a mounted Linux second extended file system mknod (3p) - make a directory, a special file, or a regular file rm (1p) - remove directory entries rmdir (2) - delete a directory rmdir (3p) - remove a directory It doesn't require root permissions.
