lla

lla is a modern ls replacement built in Rust with a focus on extensibility. It adds specialized views for git repos, timelines, and disk usage, plus a plugin system that lets you attach custom metadata to any listing.

Views

• Default: clean, distraction-free listing
• Long format (-l): permissions, size, date, owner, and icons
• Tree (-t): hierarchical directory exploration with configurable depth
• Table (-T): structured grid optimized for comparison
• Grid (-g): compact multi-column layout
• Git (-G): per-file commit hash, author, time, and change status
• Timeline (--timeline): files grouped chronologically
• Size map (-S): visual disk usage breakdown
• Diff (lla diff): compare two directories or files, or diff against a git ref

Git integration

• Git view shows last commit info (hash, author, time, status) for every file
• Diff mode supports local-to-local and working-tree-vs-git comparisons
• Respects .gitignore via --respect-gitignore

Filtering and search

• Boolean filter logic: OR, AND, NOT, XOR across filename patterns
• Regex support and content search inside files
• Range-based filters for size and modification time
• Reusable named filter presets

Plugin system

• 16+ first-party plugins covering git status, code complexity, tags, clipboard ops, and more
• Plugins can add extra columns to any view via the field:<name> column syntax
• Managed with lla install, lla use, and lla update

Other features

• Jump navigation: bookmarked and recently visited directories with an interactive prompt
• Machine-readable output: JSON, NDJSON, and CSV
• Theme manager and configurable column order
• Smart sorting: multiple criteria, natural number order, dirs-first

Availability

Available on Linux, macOS, and NetBSD.
