FILTERING OPTIONS:
-a, --all... show hidden files. Use this twice to also show the '.' and '..' directories

--git-ignore ignore files mentioned in '.gitignore'
SORTING OPTIONS:
--group-directories-first list directories before other files
--group-directories-last list directories after other files
-s, --sort <FIELD> which field to sort by [default: name] [possible values:
name, Name, .name, .Name, ext, ext, created,
date, age, accessed, changed,
size, inode, type, none]
-r, --reverse reverse the sort order
LONG VIEW OPTIONS:
-h, --header add a header row to each column
-i, --inode list each file's inode number
--loc[=<MODE>] add lines-of-code and language columns [modes: lines, percent, both]

-H, --links list each file's number of hard links
-b, --binary show file sizes with binary prefixes
-B, --bytes show file sizes in bytes, without any prefixes
--total-size show the size of a directory as the one of its content (unix only)
-S, --blocksize list size of allocated file system blocks
-g, --group list each file's group
--smart-group only show group if it has a different name from owner
-n, --numeric show user and group as their numeric IDs
-t, --time <FIELD> which timestamp field to show [possible values:
mod|modified, acc|accessed, ch|changed, cr|created]
-m, --modified show the modified timestamp field (replace default field, combinable)
-u, --accessed show the accessed timestamp field (replace default field, combinable)
--changed show the changed timestamp field (replace default field, combinable)
-U, --created show the created timestamp field (replace default field, combinable)
--time-style <STYLE> how to format timestamps [possible values:
default, iso, long-iso, full-iso, relative, "+<CUSTOM_FORMAT>"]
-O, --flags list file flags (Mac, BSD, and Windows only)
-Z, --context list each file's security context
--git list each file's Git status, if tracked or ignored
--git-repos list root of git-tree status
--git-repos-no-status list each git-repos branch name (much faster)

--no-permissions suppress the permissions field
--no-filesize suppress the filesize field
--no-user suppress the user field
--no-time suppress the time field
