lla is a fast, customizable `ls` replacement written in Rust with multiple listing views, Git-aware output, filtering, content search, and machine-readable formats. It supports themes, shortcuts, and an extensible plugin system including native and WASM plugins.

Use cases

  • replace ls with a faster modern alternative
  • list directories with git status in terminal
  • view directory tree with depth limits
  • search file contents from the command line
  • output directory listings as json
  • group files by modification time
  • customize terminal file listing colors and themes

When to choose

  • you want a feature-rich ls alternative with tree, long, and git views
  • you need machine-readable directory output for scripts
  • you want an extensible file lister with plugin support
  • you use multiple platforms including Windows and NetBSD

When to avoid

  • you need POSIX-exact ls behavior for shell scripts
  • you prefer minimal tools with no configuration
  • your environment cannot run Rust binaries or lacks WASM support
