bash settings on Mac Snow Leopard
I’ve been slowly migrating from my desktop to my laptop so I’ve been setting it up piecemeal.
Bash (Terminal) File and Directory Colors
I do a lot of work within Terminal and not having directory and file coloring drives me nuts after a while. To add colors
cd ~/ vi .bash_profile
add
export CLICOLOR=1
export LSCOLORS=ExFxCxDxBxegedabagacad
reload it by typing (in Terminal)
source ~/.bash_profile
close out Terminal then start a new Terminal session. Do an ls and directories and files should now have color. A more in-depth explanation is listed below in “references”
