## 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.
## Screenshot

This project is a rewrite of GNU `ls` with lot of added features like colors, icons, tree-view, more formatting options etc.
The project is heavily inspired by the super [colorls](https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls) project.
## Installation
### Prerequisites
#### 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.

Theme can be configured in the [configuration file](#configuration)(color.theme),
The valid theme configurations are:

- theme-file-name(yaml): use the theme file to specify colors(without the `yaml` extension)
when configured with the `theme-file-name` which is a `yaml` file,
`lsd` will look up the theme file in the following way:

### Default Colors
### Icons not showing up
In the future the possibility to customize the colors might be implemented.
For now, the default colors are:
For `lsd` to be able to display icons, the font has to include special font glyphs. This might not be the case for most fonts that you download. Thankfully, you can patch most fonts using [NerdFont](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) and add these icons. Or you can just download an already patched version of your favourite font from [NerdFont font download page](https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads).
Here is a guide on how to setup fonts on [macOS](https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd/issues/199#issuecomment-494218334) and [Android](https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd/issues/423).
| User/Group | Permission | File Types | Date | File Size |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
To check if the font you are using is setup correctly, try running the following snippet in a shell and see if that [prints a folder icon](https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd/issues/510#issuecomment-860000306). If it prints a box, or question mark or something else, then you might have some issues in how you setup the font or how your terminal emulator renders the font.
```sh
echo $'\uf115'
```
### Colors
You can customize filetype colors using `LS_COLORS` and other colors using the theme.
The default colors are:
| User/Group | Permission | File Type (changes based on your terminal colorscheme) | Date | File Size |

### First char of folder/file getting trimmed
This is a known issue in a few terminal emulator. Try using a different terminal emulator like. [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty) and [Kitty](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty) are really good alternatives. You might also want to check if your font is responsible for causing this.
To verify this, try running lsd with icons disabled and if it still does not have the first character, then this is an lsd bug:
```sh
lsd --icon never --ignore-config
```
### UTF-8 Chars
`lsd` will try to display the UTF-8 chars in file name, A `U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER`(<28>) is used to represent the invalid UTF-8 chars.
