LS_COLORS

This is a collection of extension:color mappings, suitable to add as your LS_COLORS environment variable. Most of them use the extended colors described in the ECMA-48 document; that means your terminal has to support 256 colors.

As of this writing - 2011-04-09 - about 291 different filetypes/extensions is supported. That's a lot of extensions, but there's a lot more! Therefore I need Your help.

Fork this project, add the extensions you are missing and send me a pull request. Try to make files that usally ends up next to eachother colors that fit nicely together; html, css and php, for example. Filetypes with multiple possible extensions should have the same color; .htm and .html, for example.

DEVELOPERS

There's a library I've written that lets you use various LS COLORS on arbitary files and directories. A simple implementation can be found here.

Using this, you can do

find $HOME -maxdepth 1  | ls_color

mpc search artist Laleh | ls_color

... and so on.

SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE

Here's a screenshot of the current selection:
