I input command `alias ls='ls --color=auto'` like in [**this article**](http://www.computerhope.com/unix/ualias.htm). 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**](https://kwilson.io/blog/getting-your-macro-on-with-doskey/) `$*` symbols. ```shell 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.
