ls improved

hermanningjaldsson · 2011-06-22 10:42:12

I have just written a script which allows for a better ls command.
It is available here: http://hermanningjaldsson.com/unix/ll/

How can i get this snippet to the greatest possible use for the Linux community?

'du -sh' does something similar to your app and I don't use ls anyway

[karol@black ~]$ type l
l is aliased to `ls -Aog -h --group-directories-first --color'

i have kubuntu 8.04 and for me du -hs just makes the system pause.

p.s. i will be trying arch soon.

I find all the output from ls -l useful, as I am sure most Arch users do. If I just need the filenames, ls without options does the trick.

But your contribution is of course most welcome, and I hope it finds an audience. Good luck!

There is also ls++ (AUR).

Two requests:

1. Support for dircolors.

2. Allow setting of a path. For example ll /etc/ does not work.

1, what are dircolors?
the colors arent the same on arch?

2. ill put that on my todo list.

Dircolors allows colors to be specified for files/folders and what not. Try it:

Arch Linux
