## Cheat Sheet

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Peltoche/lsd/assets/screen_lsd.png)

> `lsd` is a modern, cross-platform, drop-in replacement for `ls`. It does
> everything that you expect it to, plus modern extras that you can check out
> with `lsd --help`.

Note: You must install [the nerdfont](https://webinstall.dev/nerdfont) and
update the font in your Terminal for `lsd` to show icons.

Run `lsd` exactly as you would `ls`:

```sh
lsd
```

But wait, there's more, you can `tree` as well:

```sh
lsd --tree
```

### How to turn off icons and colors

If you just want the benefits of a cross-platform `ls` without having to install
nerdfont or needing a modern terminal, you've got options:

```sh
lsd --icon=never --color=never
```

Since that can be a little awkward to type over and over, you can use an alias:

```sh
alias lsd=lsd --icon=never --color=never
lsd
```

### How to alias as `ls`, `ll`, `la`, etc

This will affect the interactive shell, but not scripts.

Using [aliasman](/aliasman):

```sh
aliasman ls "lsd -F"
aliasman la "lsd -AF"
aliasman ll "lsd -lAF"
aliasman lg "lsd -F --group-dirs=first"
```

(and follow the on-screen instructions or restart your shell)

Or manually update your `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, or `.profile`

```sh
alias ls="lsd -F"
alias la="lsd -AF"
alias ll="lsd -lAF"
alias lg="lsd -F --group-dirs=first"
```

For situations in which you must use `ls` exactly, remember that you can escape
the alias:

```sh
\ls -lAF
```

### How to alias as `tree`

Using [aliasman](/aliasman):

```sh
aliasman tree "lsd -AF --tree"
alias tree="lsd -AF --tree"
```

Or manually update your `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, or `.profile`

```sh
alias tree="lsd -AF --tree"
```

And when you want to use GNU `tree`, just escape the alias:

```sh
\tree
```
