If you analyze most users' command line history files, cd
and ls
usually top the list. For example my laptop's top 10 shell commands:
1993 ls 1334 cd 445 g #alias for git 418 sudo 278 ssh 276 git 223 vim 215 rm 139 v #alias for vim 126 mv
The default behavior for most users is to ls
right after cd
to the point that I have a function cl that basicly duplicates this behavior.
