pls

Prettier and more powerful ls(1) replacement written in Rust, with sensible defaults and extensive customization.

Desktopfreeglobal

A Rust-written replacement for ls that produces colorful, human-readable file listings with sensible defaults and extensive customization. It targets developers and power users who find raw ls output hard to scan and want a fast single-binary tool for interactive terminal use rather than scriptable parsing; it is open-source under GPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted.
