I input command alias ls='ls --color=auto' like in this article. I get actual behavior, not expected.

5. Question

May we use = symbol in cash alias command? For example, for native Windows doskey command I need to use $* symbols.

doskey gl=git log --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h%Cblue%d %Creset%s%Cgreen [%cn, %ar]" $*

6. Environment

Operating system and version:
Windows 32-bit 10.0.14393
Node.js:
v7.3.0
npm:
3.10.9

Thanks.

Is it a bug?

Looks like a bug to me.

This repo has been pretty inactive for a while, so I wouldn't expect this get fixed for a bit (probably won't be fixed until vorpal depends on bash-parser).

For what it's worth, cash's ls has --color=auto by default, so this specific example isn't such a huge problem. But I can see how this could be a bigger issue for other commands.
