I got the #rust program lsd ( crates.io/crates/lsd ) packaged into #debian ( packages.debian.org/sid/lsd ). It's my favorite ls replacement.

ls command with a lot of pretty colors and some other stuff

I've had a tough time deciding which of #lsd and #exa I like more. I've switched back and forth quite a bit over the past couple years and can't find a good reason why I should use one over the other. For me, they seem to function mostly the same, just a bit different formatting choices between the two.

#lsd #exa

You could alias lsd in your shell config to ls, so it would be a complete replacement. I do that with exa (another excellent Rust ls alternative)

@Rastal Yes, I also do that :)

But that wouldn't present an as pedagogical picture.

@Rastal I’m curious about this lsd command. How does it compare to exa (that I currently use)?

@TitiMoby There is little difference between them, although exa has more options for custom long view than lsd. If you already run exa (I run exa too) you aren't missing out on anything from lsd, but try lsd, see what you think!

@Rastal interesting, I’ll give it a try.
