add alias to .bash_aliases
cat .bash_aliases
alias ll='ls -lha'
alias rm='rm -i'
alias cs='cd;ls'
alias grep='grep --color=always'
grep - highlight inside a highlight
You haven't hit a wall, but you've hit a |
! (So unfortunately, no, you cannot do that without a major re-write of the grep
source code.)
However, I like the idea, so if you want, feel free to file a bug at the FSF, or if you don't want to go through the effort, I'll file the bug for you! (just drop a comment)
Fantastic question! I've already added:
alias grey-grep="GREP_COLOR='1;30' grep --color=always"
alias red-grep="GREP_COLOR='1;31' grep --color=always"
alias green-grep="GREP_COLOR='1;32' grep --color=always"
alias yellow-grep="GREP_COLOR='1;33' grep --color=always"
alias blue-grep="GREP_COLOR='1;34' grep --color=always"
alias magenta-grep="GREP_COLOR='1;35' grep --color=always"
alias cyan-grep="GREP_COLOR='1;36' grep --color=always"
alias white-grep="GREP_COLOR='1;37' grep --color=always"
to my bash.bashrc
file!
