FreeBSD GNU Applications

If you are coming from Linux, you may prefer the GNU utilities over the FreeBSD ones.

pkg install coreutils diffutils gtar less gmake gnugrep

Set up aliases:

alias egrep='gegrep --color=auto'
alias fgrep='gfgrep --color=auto'
alias grep='ggrep --color=auto'
alias less='/usr/local/bin/less'
alias ll='gls -alhF --color=auto'
alias ls='gls -F --color=auto'
