Actually, a better spelling would be
alias ls='ls --color=auto'

The long option must be spelled correctly.  The use of a trailing space in
the alias controls whether the next word on the command line will also be
subject to alias expansion; it is more useful for situations like
alias nice='nice '
so that "nice ls" will pick up that ls is also an alias.  But since ls
isn't usually followed by another program name to execute, you usually
don't see people aliasing ls with a trailing space.
