Rust ls-like tool (rsls)

rsls is a command line tool for UNIX systems that (almost) mirrors ls functionality. I've written it in Rust, so it should be performant enough for daily use.

Installation

Dependencies

• You need git to clone this repo. Since you're reading this, I'll assume you already have git installed.

• Rust package manager, cargo. Information about installing/building from source can be found here.

• Nerd Font icons are used to print file icons to the terminal.

Cloning the repo & installing

git clone https://github.com/joeleehen/rsls
cd rsls
cargo install

This will build the rsls binary and place it in ~/.cargo/bin/. If you haven't already, cargo will remind you to put that path onto $PATH.

Usage

Note: You must use a Nerd Font in your terminal to properly display the icons!

Using rsls will feel familiar to UNIX users.

rsls

Like ls, you can pass flags to change the output or specify a directory to list the contents of.

rsls [OPTIONS] [DIR]

Options

Flag	Description
-h, --help	Display help options
