Ignore The Alias When Running A Command

I have a number of shell aliases set up to override one command with another. For instance, I want to run bat anytime I type cat, so I have alias cat=bat in my shell configuration.

But what if I were to ever want to run cat instead of bat?

Aliases can be ignored several ways:

1. Precede the command with a backslash.

$ \cat

1. Wrap the command in quotes.

$ 'cat'

1. Pass the command to command.

$ command cat
