bash - aliased command - use original command?

Question

I have ls aliased to ls and some flags, however, I want to use the original, 'vanilla' version of ls in another alias. Is there a way for me to call the original version of ls?

Answer 1

You could run command ls or use the full path to it explicitly like /bin/ls

If you specify the full path you won't be using any functions or aliases. Similarly, command can find the executable with the given name without doing normal function/alias lookups. See help command for more
