# 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
|
|
```
