title: gcc gives error regarding color
body: <p>Whenever I run a gcc/g++ command or even a ping command it always shows the following error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>gcc --colour=auto.c -lgraph -o --colour=auto
  gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--colour=auto.c’
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't seem to understand the underlying cause of this problem. It never occurred before and this is stopping me from carrying out my tasks. <strong>The first line is not a command that I ran. It's part of the error.</strong></p>
