Only for correctness:
1) this is not an alias, it looks like a shell-function, working on
sh/ksh/pdksh/bash/zsh and the correct way is:
ls() { colorls -G "$@" ; }
or
ls()
colorls -G "$@"
or on everything but sh:
function ls {
colorls -G "$@"
}
2) you can make alias, too:
a) on sh/ksh/pdksh/bash/zsh
alias ls='colorls -G'
b) on csh/tcsh
alias ls colorls -G
or:
alias ls colorls -G \!\*
