Redundant with original ls #26

Closed pagerc closed 4 years ago

The original LS has dir_colors for generating the LS_COLORS attributes, which already supports console escape sequences which permits mapping unicode character sets to file types:

This for example, when the below is added to ~/.dir_colors, it will make all rc resource files light green in appearance and set the alpine linux icon when using NerdFonts: *rc 36m \e[36

I recommend updating the project/readme with the above details to assist in disseminating this information so that as a community we can focus on improving our file type mappings with contributions to https://github.com/trapd00r/LS_COLORS additional icon/color mappings.
