More videos like this online at http://www.theurbanpenguin.com We learn about aliases, shortcuts to commands and options in the shell. Mostly the command ls is aliases to ls --color=auto so we have to just type ls to get the full command options in the alias. We can temporarily stop the alias and run the native command using the backslash to precede the command, \ls. to delete the alias we can use unalias ls in this case. We can always create aliases of our own using the alias command, ie alias fd='find -maxdepth -type d'. Should we wish to disable the use of aliases within the shell then we can set the BASH option shopt -u exapand_aliases.
