How can I set default arguments for "ls" in Linux? [closed]

Question

Im constantly doing "ls -ahl" whenever I want to list what is in the directory. Is there a way for me to make -ahl the default args passed when I do "ls" or should I just create an alias like "alias lsa=ls -ahl" in bash_profile?

Answer 1

You could just alias ls itself. So something like:

alias ls='ls -ahl'

you can but it can be annoying if you forget you've done it better to just use a fresh command imo – Alanson

Answer 2

Set an alias in your ~/.bash_profile file.

alias ls="ls -ahl"

A couple of common aliases that I use all the time are:

alias ll="ls -lh --color"
alias l="ls -1"

Create an alias in your .bashrc. You can even call it ls and override the program.
