    linux rookie here, what’s the command to reverse an alias then? do you just “alias ls ls” to overwrite it?

      Backlash. \ls would get you regular ls. Note that ls already is aliased on some popular distros with some common flags.

      You can use unalias, or you can use a backslash in front of an aliased command or surround it in double quotes to ignore the alias temporarily.
