ls -ali combines the options -a, -l and -i.
From the official documentation:
-lIn addition to the name of each file, print the file type, file mode bits, number of hard links, owner name, group name, size, and timestamp
In addition to the aforementioned fields, -i adds the index number of each file.
Finally, option -a includes all the file with names starting with ., which otherwise would be considered hidden and thus ignored .
