Trying to get --color=auto as the default ls argument.
$ ls --version
ls (GNU coreutils) 8.21
…
$ echo $LS_COLORS

$ echo $LS_OPTIONS
--color=auto
Unfortunately when I run ls I still get non-colored output (running ls --color=auto manually gives me colors).
How do I make --color=auto a default ls argument?
