Running a command that is shadowed by an alias

In May 2022, I wrote an article Running A Command That Is Shadowed by an Alias for Baeldung.

Here, I discovered in-depth the Quoting feature of the bash shell, also known as escaping. Did you know that we can simply use quotes to remove escape an alias?

alias echo='echo helloworld.'
echo # helloworld
"echo" hello, world. # hello, world.
