SYNOPSIS

pls [options] [paths...]

DESCRIPTION

pls is a prettier and more powerful replacement for ls designed for human consumption rather than scripting. It features Nerd Font icons, rich formatting, flexible column ordering, and a configurable display. Files and directories can be passed as positional arguments.

PARAMETERS

-d, --det

Display detailed file metadata.

CAVEATS

Requires a Nerd Font for icon rendering. Not intended for scripting — use ls for machine-readable output.

HISTORY

pls is maintained by the pls-rs organization and is written in Rust.
