turn off cli alias
Posted on 18 July 2015 in linux
tl;dr: \cmd
There may be a situation where you have masked a command with a shell alias. For example, you may always run a command with certain flags so you might do something like
$ alias ls='ls --color'
If, for whatever reason, you'd like to run the default ls
(or any command
masked by an alias), just prepend with \
: \ls
