This is a collection of extension:color mappings, suitable to use as your
|
|
|
|
|
LS COLORS environment variable. Most of them use the extended color map,
|
|
|
|
|
described in the ECMA-48 document; in other words, you'll need a terminal
|
|
|
|
|
with capabilities of displaying 256 colors.

As of this writing, around 300 different filetypes/extensions is supported.
|
|
|
|
|
That's indeed a lot of extensions, but there's a lot more! Therefore I need
|
|
|
|
|
your help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fork this project on github, add the extensions you are missing, and send me
|
|
|
|
|
a pull request.

|
For files that usually ends up next to each other, like html, css and js,
|
|
|
|
|
try to pick colors that fit nicely together. Filetypes with multiple
|
|
|
|
|
possible extensions, like htm and html, should have the same color.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install and use this file, put something like this is your shell resource
|
|
|
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eval( dircolors -b $HOME/.dircolors )
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where .dircolors is this file.

DEVELOPERS

|
==========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's a [library][0] I've written that lets you use various LS COLORS on
|
|
|
|
|
arbitary files and directories. A simple implementation can be found [here][1].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using this, you can do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
find $HOME -maxdepth 1 | ls_color
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mpc search artist Laleh | ls_color
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... and so on.
|
|
