LSD (LSDeluxe) is a modern rewrite of the GNU ls command written in Rust, adding colors, file-type icons, tree views, and richer formatting options. It requires a patched font such as Nerd Fonts for icon display.
Use cases
- replace ls with a prettier file listing
- show file icons in the terminal
- list directories as a tree with colors
- make terminal file listings easier to read
- customize ls output formatting and colors
When to choose
- you want a modern, colorful ls replacement with icons and tree view
- you use a terminal with a Nerd Font installed
- you want a fast Rust-based coreutils alternative
When to avoid
- your terminal cannot use patched fonts, so icons render as boxes
- you need exact GNU ls flag compatibility in scripts
- you prefer minimal output with no colors or icons
