pls

pls is a command‑line utility that lists directory contents with a cleaner, more colorful presentation than the traditional ls. It targets users who want a visually appealing view of files while retaining the familiar functionality of a file‑listing tool. The program runs on macOS and Linux and is distributed as a single‑file binary compiled in Rust, offering fast execution.

The tool emphasizes practical defaults and an easy interface, yet it allows extensive customization for power users who need additional options beyond basic listing. Its design balances human‑readable output with the ability to adjust behavior through command‑line flags and configuration.

Because it is a small, self‑contained executable, pls can be installed without complex dependencies and used directly from the terminal. Documentation and release information are available online, and the project follows a stable maturity level with continuous integration testing.
