Most of the time when I do a cd command I also do a ls to see what other files or folder are in that directory. So I want to execute ls everytime I change the directory. I know I can do cd foo && ls but is it really necessary to do && ls everytime?

There are 2 ways to do this. You can create an alias as LnxSlck posted or another one is creating a function in .bash_aliases

mycd(){ cd "$1" && ls; }
