So this was on the bash twitter feed the other day, and I've found it to be one of the most useful commands I've ever found:
ls -ltr
sorts the folder by least to most recently modified, so
ls -ltr | tail
will show you the 10 most recently edited files
so you can do something like
function l { ls -ltr | tail -$1 }
run with no args to get 10 most recent, or say do `l 15` to get 15 most
recently modified.
I only read this a few days ago and I've already used it probably a dozen
times.
