LSD

A modern alternative to the ls command inspired by Nushell's output, written in Ruby.

• Tabular output with colors
• Column filtering via command line
• High performance through lazy loading
• Mac and Linux support

1. Install gem (recommended)

gem install lsd-rb

2. Use the installation script

git clone https://github.com/aristotelesbr/lsd
cd lsd
./install.sh

3. Manual installation

The installation script will:

1. Check if Ruby is installed (>= 3.0)

2. Install necessary dependencies

   bundle install

3. Compile the program if needed

   chmod +x bin/lsd

4. Move the binary to /usr/local/bin

# List current directory
lsd

# List a specific directory
lsd ~/Downloads

# Filter by name and type only
lsd --filter-by "name,type"

# Show help
lsd --help

• name: File/directory name
• size: Size in human format (KB, MB, etc)
• type: File type (file, directory, symlink)
• modified: Modification date

The index column (#) is always shown.
