Sometimes 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:
command
builtin: command ls
/bin/ls
\\\\
anywhere in the command name, for example: \\ls
, or l\\s
"ls"
or 'ls'
