LSD (LSDeluxe)
Table of Contents
Description
This project is heavily inspired by the super 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).

Prerequisites
Install the patched fonts of powerline nerd-font and/or font-awesome. Have a look at the Nerd Font README for more installation instructions. Don't forget to setup your terminal in order to use the correct font.
On Ubuntu
... and other Debian-based Linux distributions
Download the latest .deb package from the release page and install it via:
sudo dpkg -i lsd_7.2.0_amd64.deb # adapt version number and architecture
From Snap
sudo snap install lsd --classic
From Sources
With Rust's package manager cargo, you can install lsd via:
cargo install lsd
From Binaries

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.) :
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 :
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/* |
