It uses colours to distinguish file types and metadata. It knows about symlinks, extended attributes, and Git. And it’s **small**, **fast**, and just **one single binary**. # Notability Very similar to [[lsd - file listing utility]] but doesn't support column configurability. Instead it supports Git integration.
