You could alias it to ls.

Why wouldn't you just alias sl to ls? It'd be much less typing.

I have l aliased to ls -l.

sullyj3 | karma 1003 | avg karma 1.93 · | 2018-03-31 01:28:29+00:00

I always alias "ls" to "l"

I've always just written that as \ls to call the non-alias

esoterae | karma 177 | avg karma 2.53 · | 2022-08-11 12:13:03

alias ls='ls -a'

ln -s, or alias it

I aliased `ls` to it… I don’t know how long ago. It’s been great.

maybe you can teach alias ls="ls -1"

snazz | karma 5427 | avg karma 2.68 · | 2020-04-24 23:25:59+00:00

Make an alias that adds ls --hide the same way you do for ls --color.

You could alias it ?

tjwds | karma 1294 | avg karma 9.45 · | 2018-03-30 14:40:53+00:00

For some reason the typo I tend to make the most is ';s', so I've gone ahead and set `alias s=ls`

ricket | karma 152 | avg karma 4.34 · | 2013-03-23 18:24:51+00:00

alias sl='sl;ls'

madmax108 | karma 5472 | avg karma 8.6 · | 2018-03-30 11:14:42

I've set alias ls=sl in dozens of systems belonging to colleagues over the years, just for the lulz! :D :D

an_ko | karma 1489 | avg karma 5.51 · | 2015-10-31 16:24:18+00:00

Just alias it.

jjice | karma 4230 | avg karma 3.39 · | 2023-09-07 09:41:34

I like ll a lot for ls -ahlF, but I do run into its absence a lot on a remote machine. At that point, I'll just set the alias though.

ceph_ | karma 767 | avg karma 3.69 · | 2012-12-04 01:55:22+00:00

alias ll='ls -halv'

I've got ls aliased to exa

otterpro | karma 679 | avg karma 2.28 · | 2017-08-03 21:15:30

I usually alias 'ls' to 'l' anyway, so it would not be a big deal to alias 'exa' to 'l'. I agree that exa is not exactly memorable.

dikaiosune | karma 4199 | avg karma 6.04 · | 2017-09-08 16:49:43+00:00

It would probably be more useful, yes. But that would require remembering what my ls alias without `-h` is, and also would maybe give more confidence in the results of the quick 'n' dirty analysis than is justified.
