Twelve Days of Shell

Hey this doesn’t work : first solution “ls -al” which I use all the time to list directories was rejected in the second question I used awk and was rejected it expected grep

I think a beginner could be doing it right but then be told they are wrong as you aren’t evaluating actual commands

Best would be to like actually run it* and then check solutions out with awk that it pattern matches

* aka give me a shell ok worth a try lol xD

Edit: also I was expecting something a bit more challenging (also that is correct) to like exercise the brain for those of us that use shell (this is hacker news) something that takes a few minutes and isn’t just commands used all the time

"ls" shows only visible files whereas "ls -a" also displays those starting with a dot. Given the question doesn't that make your answer the correct one?
