the alias of ls, ls --show-control-chars -F --color outputs only white text. I tested older versions of cmder and found that ls from msysgit was able to produce color output but new versions with git-for-windows did not. I don't think this is a Window 7 issue but I'm not certain. I also tested this and reproduced this with a fresh install of the latest release of cmder.
I'm also on the latest version, albeit on Windows 10.
I have the following lines as aliases
ll=ls --show-control-chars -F --color $* -al
ls=ls --show-control-chars -F --color $*
I have no issues with color output.
Hey there,
Cmder uses ConEmu as terminal emulator, if you are experiencing a problem with that, please open a bug over at https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu
Thank you! :)
It wasn't conemu.
To recap:
I could get color output from LS on older versions of cmder because those older versions used msysgit
The problem is related to the package git for windows.
ls --show-control-chars -F --color - Works for me. Running cmder 1.3.5+
ll=ls --show-control-chars -F --color $* -al ls=ls --show-control-chars -F --color $*
This works for me as well. Thanks for sharing!
