My alias will also sort the output by modification time ( -t), and reverse ( -r) the order of the list so recently modified files appear at the bottom of the terminal. All of these arguments will instruct ls to use the listing ( -l) format, list all ( -a) files - including hidden files - and print the file sizes in human-readable ( -h) formats (e.g., 1K, 234M, 5G). The ls command is now using the -l, -a, -t, -h, and -r arguments automatically.

It can be used for collaboratively sharing and editing code but is commonly referenced here on Null Byte as the primary tool for copying (or ' cloning') code repositories found on GitHub. Git is an open-source software version control application.
