## 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 really faster ([see the benchmarks](#benchmark)).

## 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.

### Archlinux

```sh
pacman -S 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

Package available on [package.gentoo.org](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/lsd) (maintainned by Georgy Yakovlev)

### From Snap

```sh
sudo snap install lsd --classic
```

### From Sources

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

```sh
cargo install lsd
```

### From Binaries

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


## Configurations

### Required

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'
  ```

### Optional

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'
  ```


## Benchmark

Result from `hyperfine --warmup 10 'lsd -la /etc/*' 'colorls -la /etc/*' 'exa -la /etc/*' --export-markdown out.md`:

| Command | Mean [ms] | Min…Max [ms] |
|:---|---:|---:|
| `lsd -la /etc/*` | 9.8 ± 0.7 | 8.6…11.9 |
| `colorls -la /etc/*` | 387.3 ± 4.1 | 379.8…393.6 |
| `exa -la /etc/*` | 15.4 ± 1.8 | 14.0…24.0 |

## F.A.Q.

### Default Colors

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