You can make your own .bashrc do the alias

In $HOME you should have a file .bashrc with a dot in front of it, That
means it's a hidden file.

In it put
alias ls='ls --color'

Then type

source .bashrc

Piping works with any command.

You can also usually redirect something to a file to look at later. For
example ls > list.txt
