The objective of these modifications were to gain a better understanding of the linux operating system (in particular coreUtils) and use that knowledge to build a new feature into the known and loved package.
The feature we made is in the form of an ls flag -e which has a --reach X flag that will recurse your ls command X times. The installation of which follows.
Full documentation of the implementation process available here.
