G : un « ls » puissant et multiplateforme 🌈 conçu pour les terminaux modernes

https://github.com/Equationzhao/g

📌 G est une application qui remplace efficacement la commande ls, avec des fonctionnalités avancées de mise en forme et une compatibilité multiplateforme (Windows 🪟, Mac 🍏, Linux 🐧). Conçu pour offrir une expérience plus fluide et visuelle, cet outil est idéal pour une navigation optimisée dans les fichiers.

Personnellement j’ai créé des alias pour un confort encore plus grand :

# Utilisation de la commande 'g' (alternative à ls / exa / lsd) avec un style de tableau
alias ll='g --tb --long --sort-by-ext'
alias lla='g --tb --A'

à insérer directement dans .zshrc (sur macos)

nano ~/.zshrc

L’affichage est personnalisable grâce à des icônes spécifiques aux types de fichiers et plusieurs options de mise en page, comme le mode grille, table, JSON ou arborescence.

🚀 Points forts :

• 🎨 Affichage personnalisable : couleurs et icônes adaptées aux fichiers
• 📁 Multiples mises en page : grille, table, arborescence et bien d’autres
• 🔍 Tri avancé : tri par version et autres options flexibles
• 🌱 Intégration Git : affichage du statut des fichiers et branches
• 💻 Compatible multi-plateformes : fonctionne sur Linux, Windows et macOS
• 🔗 Hyperliens : ouverture rapide des fichiers/dossiers
• 🔎 Correspondance floue : recherche intuitive de fichiers

L’installation est simple et peut se faire via plusieurs gestionnaires de paquets comme Homebrew, MacPorts, Scoop pour Windows ou encore un script d’installation rapide. Il est aussi possible de compiler depuis la source avec Go.

Une intégration complète avec les terminaux est prévue, avec des scripts de complétion pour Zsh, Bash, Fish et PowerShell. De plus, des alias personnalisés peuvent être créés pour faciliter son utilisation au quotidien.

Pour ceux qui souhaitent aller encore plus loin, une personnalisation avancée des thèmes est possible. G est une alternative puissante et moderne à ls, avec des performances optimisées et une ergonomie pensée pour les terminaux modernes.
