Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, How (with the bash shell) do i set it so that when typing ls, it will actually do colorls -FG ? I tried in .profile putting alias ls = 'colorls -FG' but that did nothing. I am trying to make it so that dir's show up as somedir/ and filenames just as filenames.
