sl - usefully organize directories & point out interesting files

Home

Back to files

sl is a small-ish (~48 kiB) Tcl script that I stumbled across [1]
a while ago, and which has been living in my ~/bin since.

2012-02-20   48k  sl

2012-??-??  3.1k  sl.tcl

It works as a better ls: it prints out a list of the files in
the current folder, sorted by category (e.g. dev, WWW, doc),
while colorizing them and flagging potentially interesting files.

E.g.
 .----
 | aiwein@sdf:~/gopher/files/sl% sl
 | [build]        [dev]          [other]
 |   README
