What year is this from? You absolutely can use ls in a windows command prompt now.
As of Aug 26, 2023, Windows command prompt absolutely does not recognize “ls” as a command.
Powershell is a different story.
Source: I type “ls” 40 times a day into a command prompt on my up-to-date win10 PC at work.
Out of curiosity what do you do to frequently end up with cmd? I don't think I've touched it in many years at this point.
Lately I’ve been using it as a simple way to drag and drop a source .tar.xz archive on a .bat file so it can be twice extracted, moved, renamed, have dependencies downloaded by git, run a cmake process, do a visual studio compile, then move the result release directory back to where the .bat file is while removing unneeded files and adding new ones.
cmd and batch still has its uses.
