ls_extended

Build Status

ls with coloring and icons

To use this program, one needs to have the Nerd Fonts installed since it utilizes those fonts for the icons.

I recommend the Mononoki Nerd font for the characters, and Overpass Mono Nerd font for the icons if possible (although most terminals don't permit use of separate fonts for Non-ASCII characters).

Example

ls_extended

Usage

The basic usage is similar to the native ls command, and for the options, take a look at:

ls_extended --help

Where ls_extended is the binary of this program which must be built.

Installation

Arch Linux

This project is available on AUR under the name ls_extended.

Manual Build

To install ls_extended, execute the following shell script in the project's root directory (This will not compile the tests though):

./build.sh

This will generate an executable in bin directory named ls_extended. Just copy it to your $PATH.
