ls-f is a modern replacement for the venerable ls command. It enhances directory listings with Nerd Font icons, colourized output, Git status information, and a native tree view.
Originally a Bash wrapper, ls-f has been rewritten in Rust. The Rust version provides better performance, a single static binary, and zero runtime dependencies.
This is free and open source software.
