I think he is proposing that you change your shell to zsh since he
favors that shell? An advocacy thing.
Then the next part says create a function in the shell that calls ls
with options.
I am coming in late to this thread and did not read the original
posting. My I reverse that advocacy and say to use bash instead and
just use aliases? I think zsh has aliases too.
alias ls='ls --color=auto --classify'
Much simpler that creating the shell function.
But actually I do not prefer color and turn that off myself. I have
randomly colored terminals and the color always clashes somewhere.
