pls is a prettier and powerful ls for the pros.

The "p" stands for

  • pretty (the output from pls surely looks better)
  • powerful (pls has lots of features and endless customisation)
  • programmer (pls is geared towards developers)
  • professional (pls can be extensively tweaked by the pros)
  • Python (pls is written in Python!)

Just pick whichever helps you remember the command name.

It works in a manner similar to ls, in that it lists directories and files in a given directory, but it adds many more developer-friendly features.

⚠️ Note that pls is not a replacement for ls. ls is a tried, tested and trusted command with lots of features. pls, on the other hand, is a simple tool for people who just want to see the contents of their directories.
