How to create ls in windows command prompt?

Question

I want to use ls in windows command prompt and make it run the dir command.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Easiest way I have found is:

1. Install Git for Windows
2. Add the bin directory of Git to your Path variable. Mine was located in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin.
3. Start a command prompt and enjoy ls in all its glory.
