ls with coloring and icons

To use this program, one needs to have the Nerd Fonts installed since it utilizes those fonts for the icons.

I recommend the Mononoki Nerd font for the characters, and Overpass Mono Nerd font for the icons if possible (although most terminals don't permit use of separate fonts for Non-ASCII characters).

The basic usage is similar to the native ls command, and for the options, take a look at:

ls_extended --help

Where ls_extended is the binary of this program which must be built.

This project is available on AUR under the name ls_extended.

The project uses CCP4M build system which is located here. The installation instructions for CCP4M are in its own repository.

Once it is installed, just use ccp4m project build to build the code. The executable will be generated in the bin/ directory of the project and you can then copy it to your PATH (/usr/bin/, /usr/local/bin/ etc).

To install without CCP4M, execute the following shell script in the project's root directory (This will not compile the tests though):

./build.sh

This will generate an executable in bin directory named ls_extended. Just copy it to your PATH.
