pls

A pretty LS-like screen for when you cd.

Running pls lists files and directories in the current directory, with icons and color information.

Installation

pls can be installed through cargo:

cargo install cd-pls

Usage

pls as a standalone command acts very similar to ls:

pls <DIR>

To have pls automatically clear the screen and rerun upon directory changes, add the following to your .bashrc or somewhere else that's sourced:

eval "$(pls --init)"

Note that this will automatically override your cd, mv, touch, and rm to use pls.
