This project is heavily inspired by the super colorls project but with some little differences. For example it is written in rust and not in ruby which makes it really faster (see the benchmarks).
Install the patched fonts of powerline nerd-font and/or font-awesome. Have a look at the Nerd Font README for more installation instructions.
(coming soon)
Update your rust toolchain to at least 1.30.1 and install the lsd package with:
sh
rustup update
cargo install lsd
In order to use lsd instead of the default ls you need to add this to you shell configuration file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.) :
sh
alias ls='lsd'
Some examples of useful aliases. You can add this to you shell configuration file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.) just under the alias above :
sh
alias l='ls -l'
alias la='ls -a'
alias lla='ls -la'
alias lt='ls --tree'
Result from hyperfine --warmup 10 'lsd -la /etc/*' 'colorls -la /etc/*' --export-markdown out.md:
| Command | Mean [ms] | Min…Max [ms] |
|:---|---:|---:|
| lsd -la /etc/* | 11.0 ± 0.5 | 9.9…13.0 |
| colorls -la /etc/* | 503.3 ± 5.6 | 494.6…513.4 |
