colorls VS z

colorls: Colorizes the ls output with color and icons (requires gem). Includes many useful flags, such as --gs for Git status, or -t for a tree view: I use an alias to replace ls with colorls:

colorls is installed for a neat ls command called lc in powerlevel10k: https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls

# Fancy Bash Prompts. Notes From my .bashrc #---------------------------------- # Homepage, then the command to activate # Starship -> https://starship.rs/ #eval "$(starship init bash)" # Silver https://github.com/reujab/silver #source <(silver init) # Pureline https://github.com/chris-marsh/pureline #source ~/.pureline/pureline ~/.pureline.conf ## another nice little tool # colorls ruby thing # https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls#installation

Now my terminal looks very good! Unfortunately, though, I noticed a screenshot from the colorls Github page and now I definitely want to configure fish to look like this, but that theme is made for zsh (oh my zsh).

This project is heavily inspired by the super colorls project but with some little differences. For example it is written in rust and not in ruby which makes it much faster.

Could be wrong but I think that is colorls - https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls

- Visidata

- z (https://github.com/rupa/z)

- fzf

- vim

- Fastmail

- WireGuard

- draw.io

- PowerShell (it’s difficult to overstate how much PS has improved Windows system administration)

- Microsoft PowerToys

- WSL (alternating joy and extreme frustration)

- Home Assistant

- Airfoil

For even more power use z

- quickly jump to recent directory: https://github.com/rupa/z - however I find it kinda annoying it seems to forget/ignore(?) directories, anyone know of a better version of this?

- quickly opening my personal wiki: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...

- re-run a script when a file changes: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...

For `while-watchdo` you, you run it like `while-watchdo "echo hi"`, then in my editor, I have a custom shortcut that does `touch .watchfile` causing the command, in this case `echo hi` to run. I prefer this to tools that retrigger commands as soon as you save _any_ file. Also works in docker containers, edit a file on host, command runs in a container.

2) Well friend, this is where you can have the best of both of worlds. You can just open the file explorer via the CLI. Typically you'll have the xdg-open command that opens the directory in your default file browser. I have that aliased to xdgo. So you can navigate quickly to where you need to be, and then open it visually with xdgo . . There's also other really convenient navigation tools like z (https://github.com/rupa/z) that I can't imagine going without anymore.

I would like to know how you use the terminal and nvim in your daily workflow. Here is mine: I have a shortcut (with raycast) to open alacritty full screen from anywhere. I open alacritty and start the tmux (create work and personal sessions). Then using z navigate to the desired project. Next, I have a bash script pde that opens nvim, and 2 terminal splits below. Nvim opens with alpha-nvim (startify theme). For file explorer I use lir.nvim. Fuzzy finding using fzf-lua. I have harpoon but don't use it very often, instead, I manage buffers with fzf-lua and vim-bbye. When working on multiple files I usually have 2-4 vsplits. I do git stuff mostly using vim-fugitive (gv.vim, resetting hunks with gitsigns.nvim), occasionally git commands from another tmux window. I use auto-save.nvim. My most used command is :F (lsp.bug.format). For movements I use Ctrl+D/U/O/I/, sometimes relative line jumping. Other often movements [q,]q (quickfix jumps), [d,]d (diagnostics jumps), [c,]c (Gitsigns hunks). Alacritty + Neovim view

For general filesystem navigation in my terminal, I'm using z command. But for finer control, I am using the following commands.

z

Do you know about the program z? https://github.com/rupa/z

https://github.com/rupa/z is an awesome command to teleport to your most used directories. It's really handy to jump from a project to another.
