  • How to get ls output to look like DT's?
    2 projects | /r/DistroTube | 14 Dec 2021
    I came across https://github.com/sharkdp/vivid and thought it was quite nice, but it doesn't change ls colors for anything but the file names. I really like how everything in DT's videos has color output so I was wondering how he did it. Did he use some script or utility or did he configure it from scratch? If it's the latter, is there a resource I can use to learn how to do it? Thanks.
  • fd is looking for contributors

    fd is my very first Rust project. In fact, if you go back in (Git) history, the project was originally written in C++. I have created various other Rust command-line tools since then, but I love coming back to fd, as I personally use it the most.
  • LS_COLORS with zsh's autocomplete
    2 projects | /r/zsh | 23 Mar 2021
    Hello. I made my custom LS_COLORS using very nice tool vivid and it works perfectly well. Now I wonder is it possible to use the same file highlighting when zsh autocompletes files names. For example when I type cp it gives me a "menu" of all files and directories in current folder, but they are all white and I would like it to be in the same style as output of the ls command.
