And that's it. The key here is to use the -al parameters for the ls command. The a tells the command to not ignore file names beginning with a period(.). The l tells it to use the long list format. I find that I like this format by default most of the time because it reveals permissions, ownership and whether or not we're dealing with files or directories (among other things).
