## Description

This project is heavily inspired by the super [colorls](https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls)
project but with some little differences.  For example it is written in rust and not in ruby which makes it much faster.

## Installation

### Prerequisites

Install the patched fonts of powerline nerd-font and/or font-awesome. Have a look at the [Nerd Font README](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/readme.md) for more installation instructions. Don't forget to setup your terminal in order to use the correct font.

See [this issue comment](https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd/issues/199#issuecomment-494218334) for detailed instructions on how to configure iTerm2 font settings correctly.

pacman -S lsd
```

### On Fedora

```sh
dnf install lsd
```

### On Ubuntu

_... and other Debian-based Linux distributions_

Download the latest .deb package from the [release page](https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd/releases) and install it via:

```sh
sudo dpkg -i lsd_7.2.0_amd64.deb  # adapt version number and architecture
```

### On Gentoo
```sh
sudo emerge sys-apps/lsd
```
(Ebuild maintained by Georgy Yakovlev)

### From Snap

```sh
sudo snap install lsd
```

### On macOS

via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):

```sh
brew install lsd
```

### On NixOS/From nix

```sh
nix-env -iA nixos.lsd
```

Or add `lsd` to your `configuration.nix` like so:

```nix
# ...
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  # other packages ...
  lsd
];
# ...
```

### From Sources

With Rust's package manager cargo, you can install lsd via:

```sh
cargo install lsd
```

If you want to install the latest master branch commit:
```sh
cargo install --git https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd.git --branch master
```

### From Binaries

The [release page](https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd/releases) includes precompiled binaries for Linux and macOS.


## Configurations

### Required

Enable nerd fonts for your terminal, URxvt for example:

.Xresources
```
URxvt*font:    xft:Hack Nerd Font:style=Regular:size=11
```

### Optional


In order to use lsd when entering the `ls` command, you need to add this to your shell
configuration file  (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.):

  ```sh
  alias ls='lsd'
  ```

Some further examples of useful aliases:

  ```sh
  alias l='ls -l'
  alias la='ls -a'
  alias lla='ls -la'
  alias lt='ls --tree'
  ```

## F.A.Q.

### Default Colors

In the future the possibility to customize the colors might be implemented.
For now, the default colors are:
