+# Ignore The Alias When Running A Command
+
+I have a number of shell aliases set up to override one command with another.
+For instance, I want to run `bat` anytime I type `cat`, so I have `alias
+cat=bat` in my shell configuration.
+
+But what if I were to ever want to run `cat` instead of `bat`?
+
+Aliases can be ignored several ways:
+
+1. Precede the command with a backslash.
+
+```bash
+$ \cat
+```
+
+2. Wrap the command in quotes.
+
+```bash
+$ 'cat'
+```
+
+3. Pass the command to `command`.
+
+```bash
+$ command cat
+```
