What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
A Ruby gem that replaces the standard ls command with a colorized version that adds font-awesome icons to file and directory listings. It supports familiar ls flags plus extras like tree view, git status, and sorting options.
Use cases
- beautify terminal ls output with colors and icons
- show file type icons in directory listings
- list files in a tree view from the command line
- show git status alongside ls output
- group directories before files when listing
When to choose
- you want a prettier, icon-rich alternative to ls
- you already use Ruby and want an easy gem install
- you want ls-compatible flags plus tree and git-status views
When to avoid
- you need maximum performance for huge directory listings
- you cannot install a Nerd Font for icon support
- you want a non-Ruby dependency-free tool
