Is there a way to disable color coding in the 'ls' command permanently?
Short of modifying and recompiling the code (from GNU coreutils), you
might add something like this (untested) in your ~/.bashrc file:
ls() { /bin/ls --color=none "$@"; }
and then, you should not get colors when working interactively.
In my own case, I not only like having colors, but activate a few other
options as well, depending on a few various contexts and systems, as
shown below -- you do not want it, but it might trigger other ideas :-).
ls() {
local options='--show-control --quoting-style=literal'
if test -t 1; then
options="$options -Nx"
else
options="$options -N"
fi
if [ "$TERM" != dumb ]; then
options="$options --color=auto"
fi
if /bin/ls --help | /bin/grep -s -- --time-style >/dev/null; then
options="$options --time-style='+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'"
fi
eval /bin/ls $options "$@"
}
