Let the terminal under Mac OS X have a rich color display like Linux

We know that the command line terminal under Linux has color echo function, the LS command to view the directory or file, the terminal will be different colors; using the vim command line editor to open a script or other source code is displayed in syntax highlighting mode. But the terminal under Mac OS x always displays everything in black and white, and it looks monotonous. In fact, we can also let the terminal under Mac OS X have a rich color display capability like Linux. Specific as follows:

1, let LS and grep command display results with color modify the current login account directory under the ~/.bash_profile file (if not created it), add the following: Alias Ls= ' ls-g ' Alias ll= ' ls-l ' Alias grep= ' grep--color ' save after exiting. Restart the terminal can see the LS command, grep command echo echo results are color, and we also defined an alias ll, equivalent to simulating the LL command under Linux, column details directory and file list, no more input ls-l. 2, let vim have syntax highlighting Mac OS x VI is actually a soft connection of vim. So we have to let vim have syntax highlighting ability, only need to modify the current account directory of the ~/.VIMRC file (if not created it), add the following: syntax on save and exit. Using VIM again will reveal that the syntax highlighting is already in effect!
