Colorful bash tricks

Hi!

i found the easiest way to make colorful bash is by using:

Quote:

export CLICOLOR="yes"

and when user's listing the files inside the directory, it will comes colorful

btw, i found this need to be done manually one by one
how do i set colorful bash and make it default for all users?

thank you!

Code:

man bash

will tell you all about which initialistion files bash
will honour under which circumstance.

That's "too many", and you don't need to read the
whole man-page. It has a search feature; all it
takes is to type

Code:

man bash
/INVOCATION

which will take you to the section that explains to
you which files are being used to initialise bash
on start-up.
