As mentioned already, it's an upstream default. However, on Gentoo, "ls" |
| 21 |
is already an alias for "ls --color=auto", because the upstream default |
| 22 |
is to now use colors. At least for bash anyway (the alias is set in |
| 23 |
/etc/bash/bashrc). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So I'd say just do: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
alias ls="ls --quoting-style=literal --color=auto" |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
in your ~/.bashrc and forget about it :-) Or, if you want it |
| 30 |
system-wide, just write that alias in a new file: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
/etc/bash/bashrc.d/aliases |
