# LS_COLORS
|
||
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! Your help is greatly
|
||
appreciated.
|
||
|
||
Fork this project on github, add the extensions you are missing, and send a pull
|
||
request.
|
||
|
||
Some guidelines:
|
||
|
||
For files that usually ends up next to each other, like html, css and js,
|
||
try to pick colors that fits in nicely together. Filetypes with multiple
|
||
possible extensions, like htm and html, should have the same color.
|
||
|
||
# What does it look like?
|
||
Here's a screenshot _(font and minor color shades, of course, depend on terminal and its configuration)_:

# Installation
|
||
To install and use this file, put something like this in your shell resource
|
||
file:
|
||
```shell
|
||
eval $( dircolors -b $HOME/.dircolors )
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
A quick way to install would be the following set of commands (assuming bash):
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
wget https://raw.github.com/trapd00r/LS_COLORS/master/LS_COLORS -O $HOME/.dircolors
|
||
echo 'eval $(dircolors -b $HOME/.dircolors)' >> $HOME/.bashrc
|
||
. $HOME/.bashrc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Arch Linux
|
||
Arch Linux users can install the [`lscolors-git`][3] package from the AUR for easy
|
||
integration with bash, csh, or zsh.
|
||
|
||
## zsh integration with Zplugin
|
||
There's a Zsh plugin manager `Zplugin` that nicely works with this repository
|
||
– `dircolors` will be ran **only once on each update**. So `dircolors` will not
|
||
read the `LS_COLORS` definitions and perform the computation each time a new
|
||
shell is started, but **instead** only once per `trapd00r/LS_COLORS` install
|
||
and per update (with `zplugin update trapd00r/LS_COLORS`) and only then
|
||
generating the script `c.zsh` containing the `dircolors` output and after this
|
||
just sourcing it when the shell starts, thus making the shell to startup faster:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
zplugin ice atclone"dircolors -b LS_COLORS > c.zsh" atpull'%atclone' pick"c.zsh"
|
||
zplugin load trapd00r/LS_COLORS
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## ZSH syntax highlighting
|
||
[zsh-syntax-highlighting-filetypes][0] highlights file on the command-line in
|
||
realtime, using these colors.
|
||
|
||
## fish shell
|
||
```fish
|
||
eval ( dircolors --c-shell $HOME/.dircolors)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Place it in `~/.config/fish/config.fish` or any `*.fish*` file inside `~/.config/fish/conf.d/` to be loaded.
|
||
|
||
# Information for Developers
|
||
There's a [library][1] I've written that lets you use various LS COLORS on
|
||
arbitrary files and directories. A simple implementation can be found [here][2].
|
||
|
||
Using this, you can do
|
||
```shell
|
||
find $HOME -maxdepth 1 | ls_color
|
||
|
||
mpc search artist Laleh | ls_color
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
... and so on.
