My ls command colors directories and files according to their type and permissions:
But when the window is too small to fit the content I pipe the result into less
:
Which cannot correctly parse the escape code from ls and turn them into color. To fix that add -r
to the less command:
Notes:
My
l
alias isgls -F -G --color --group-directories-first -lah
(gls
is GNU ls)
You can
alias less=less -r
if you want this to be the default behavior for less.
