  • ls -G prints with color on <enter>, even just ls prints it with color on <enter>, it's just the <tab> that isn't printing/show completion with color

  • Ah, misread your question, thought the second part was the output of ls.

  • This is for inside bash only, so If I type bash <enter> in terminal, it opens a new shell inside my terminal and then if i type cd or ls <tab> then the output is with color but if i do it outside that shell in normal terminal window then it is without color for some reason which is weird.
