Bypass an alias
suggest changeSometimes you may want to bypass an alias temporarily, without disabling it. To work with a concrete example, consider this alias:
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
And let’s say you want to use the ls
command without disabling the alias. You have several options:
- Use the
command
builtin:command ls
- Use the full path of the command:
/bin/ls
- Add a
\\
anywhere in the command name, for example:\ls
, orl\s
- Quote the command:
"ls"
or'ls'
