We can specify additional options on the command line. Like this<\/p>\n<p>-a displays all files, including hidden files.<br \/>\n-l displays a long directory listing, displaying more information such as POSIX permissions, owner, group and file size information<br \/>\n-h displays \u201chuman readable\u201d file sizes in a long listing.<\/p>\n<p>These options can be combined in a single command, so typing \u2018ls \u2013lah\u2019 will display a long listing, displaying all files, with \u201chuman readable\u201d file sizes.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, most Linux distributions (RHL\/CentOS, and Ubuntu), allow you to use the ls command to display a short list, ll to display the long list. Without specifying any options.<\/p>\n<p>How is this done? How can I add the same functionality to my OS X terminal session?<\/p>\n<p>In actuality it is quite easy, and done the same in OS X as it is done in Linux (Linux just happens to already have it in your login script.). It is done using the alias comman.<\/p>\n<p>Alias allows you to set up alias\u2019s for any command, with options, and use the normal command name, or you can choose a different name.<br \/>\nIf you have access to a Linux box, open up a terminal windows and type \u2018alias\u2019 at a shell prompt. On CentOS 7, you will see the following output.<\/p>\n<p>$ alias<br \/>\nalias egrep=&#8217;egrep &#8211;color=auto&#8217;<br \/>\nalias fgrep=&#8217;fgrep &#8211;color=auto&#8217;<br \/>\nalias grep=&#8217;grep &#8211;color=auto&#8217;<br \/>\nalias l.=&#8217;ls -d .* &#8211;color=auto&#8217;<br \/>\nalias ll=&#8217;ls -l &#8211;color=auto&#8217;<br \/>\nalias ls=&#8217;ls &#8211;color=auto&#8217;<br \/>\nalias which=&#8217;alias | \/usr\/bin\/which &#8211;tty-only &#8211;read-alias &#8211;show-dot &#8211;show-tilde&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, in Linux when you use the ls command, it is not just \u2018ls\u2019 that is being executed but ls with the \u2013color=auto option &lt;colorizing OS X listing is done differently&gt; which we will cover in the second part of this blog. Stay focused on the alias command for now.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s add the l. and ll functionality right now.<\/p>\n<p>The alias command is pretty straight forward.<br \/>\nAlias &lt;COMMAND&gt;=\u2018command string\u2019<\/p>\n<p>If you do not still have your OS X terminal window open, please open it again now.<\/p>\n<p>At the command prompt type.<br \/>\nalias l.=\u2019ls \u2013d *\u2019 &lt;Hit Enter&gt;<br \/>\nalias ll=\u2019ls \u2013l\u2019 &lt;Hit Enter&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s verify that it took your alias entries.<br \/>\nAt the command prompt type alias<\/p>\n<p>If the system accepted the alias\u2019s you should now be able to do the following in your shell environment.<\/p>\n<p>l. \u2013 Will display only directories in your current working directory<br \/>\nll \u2013 Will display a long listing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1459\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ll-working.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1459\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1459\" src=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ll-working.jpg\" alt=\"Here is the ll alias working.\" width=\"570\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ll-working.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ll-working-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ll-working-467x300.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1459\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here is the ll alias working.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Go ahead and test the functionality, while also play around with some of the other options.

You now have color directory listings in your OS X terminal environment.<br \/>\nPart III \u2013 Making these changes permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we have made the OS X terminal environment a little more colorful for your everyday use, and made it a perform more like the Linux systems you have been using there is one catch.<\/p>\n<p>These changes are not yet permanent, in fact if we simply closed down our terminal window right now all our aliases would be lost! We do not even need to reboot or shut down our system!<\/p>\n<p>So how do we make these changes stick?<\/p>\n<p>There are a few files we need to modify, and depending on if you want it to apply to only a single user (Your account), or to any account that is on the system and opens a terminal shell or might ssh remotely to the computer.<\/p>\n<p>If you only want the alias\u2019s to be assigned to your shell environment, you need to add your alias commands to the ~\\.bash_profile.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: ~\\ is shorthand for YOUR home directory. So ~\\.bash_profileis actually located in \/Users\/&lt;shortname&gt;<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s add the alias commands to the .bash_profile file<\/p>\n<p>At your shell prompt enter alias<br \/>\nSelect the output of the alias command<br \/>\nCopy the output<\/p>\n<p>Now type nano ~\\.bash_profile<br \/>\nMove the cursor to the bottom of any entries already in the file.<br \/>\nPaste your text in the file<br \/>\nEnter CTRL-X<br \/>\nAnswer YES to save changes<br \/>\nHit &lt;Enter&gt; to keep the same filename<\/p>\n<p>Test functionality by typing exit then closing and reopening the terminal window.<\/p>\n<p>Type alias, and you should see that the aliases you added are still there.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to assign the alias\u2019s to all users on the system, then add the above lines to the \\etc\\profile file.<br \/>\nPART IV \u2013 Modifying shell color output<\/p>\n<p>You can specify how to color the specific componate in an ls output by using the LSICOLORS= option in your login script.<\/p>\n<p>Adding LSICOLORS=&lt;COLOR Colorcode&gt; will modify the colors used for outputting the 11 functions.<br \/>\nThe default value is, \u2018exfxcxdxfxegedabagcad\u2019<\/p>\n<p>I have created this chart for ease of use.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/LSI-Colors.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1464 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/LSI-Colors.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"731\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/LSI-Colors.jpg 731w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/LSI-Colors-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/LSI-Colors-488x300.jpg 488w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/><\/a>Best practice calls for placing the line CLICOLOR=1 and LSCOLORS=exfxcxdxfxegedabagcad into your login script, but this is not necessary.<\/p>\n<p>There you have it!&nbsp; thanks for reading another Brent&#8217;s World OS X terminal \/ Linux blog!&nbsp; We hope that you enjoyed learning a little more about your system!&nbsp; Please remember, while using alias&#8217;s or system customization to make your system easier to use.&nbsp; These modifications will not be available on other system, so practice the original functionality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making Your OS X Terminal Look And Feel More Like Linux If you are a Mac OS X power user who has spent any time in the terminal, and also used Linux.
