Compress the cd, ls -la series of commands
Don't bother typing "cd foo; ls -la" - instead add this to your startup script of preference and just do it in one:
function cl () {
if [ $# = 0 ]; then
cd && ls -la
else
cd "$*" && ls -la
fi
}Usage: cl [path]

That and the following are my favorite bash functions:
mcd() { mkdir -p "$@" && cd $_; }This creates a new directory (if it does not exist) and cd's to it.
