ls: Lists the contents of the directory you are in. This computer starts the user off in the USER folder

ls -a: Lists all of the files in the directory you are in, including hidden files, which could mess up the system if tampered with improperly. “-“ means that it is an option attached to the command. “a” refers to “all”.
