What Hacker News says
28 sourcesThere seems to be a lot of projects that is now competing to replace ls (for people preferences)
For reference, those are the ones I am familiar with. They are somehow active in contrast to things like exa which is not maintained anymore.
eza: (https://github.com/eza-community/eza)
lsd: (https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd)
colorls: (https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls)
g: (https://github.com/Equationzhao/g)
ls++: (https://github.com/trapd00r/LS_COLORS)
logo-ls: (https://github.com/canta2899/logo-ls) - this is forked because main development stopped 4 years ago.
Any more?
Personally I prefer eza and wrote a zsh plugin that is basically aliases that matches what I have from my muscle memory.
In Show HN: I made an ls alternative for my personal useMy non-built-in CLI utility recommendations, none of which are macOS specific:
* atuin - TUI for shell history, backed by SQLite - https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin
* LSD (LSDeluxe) - rewrite of `ls` - https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd
* ripgrep - https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep
* fzf - command-line fuzzy finder that enhances file search, command history search, and more - https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
Notes:
- To get pretty extra file/folder symbols with LSD, you'll probably need to install some special fonts.
- You can use `fzf` and `ripgrep` together.
In Useful built-in macOS command-line utilitiesYou also have lsd: https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd
In Command Line Tools I Like (2022)lsd is also a good cross-platform alternative [1].

In Show HN: Facad – A colorful directory listing tool for the command lineLooks nice! I think it would be cool to know the differences between Facad, lsd, and eza (https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd and https://github.com/eza-community/eza) aka "why do I want to try Facad rather than alternatives". No offense meant, but the latter two already exist for a while, available in most distros and seem to do at least approximately the same thing.

I know though lsd has one annoying bug when using it for grepping: https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd/issues/1052

In Rich: A Python library for rich text and formatting in the terminalBoth exa and lsd[1] are amazing ls replacements. I personally stuck with lsd as it was easier to alias to ls but great work by exa.

In Exa - A Modern Replacement for lsI've been using lsd[0] as my ls replacement for a while. I like that it has a config file for defaults, so I don't have to change a bunch of aliases when setting up a new system.
