Hi, author of `pls`[1] here. `pls` goes above and beyond what is typically possible with `ls` without going so far as to become an entire TUI file explorer like Broot[2].
Among a few things it does that `ls` (and other alternatives like `eza` don't do) are:
- icons (SVG icons in terminals that support it, Nerd Fonts otherwise)
- advanced filtering using regex
- advanced sorting across multiple sort bases
- styles and colors using customisable rules
For someone wanting to make the output of `ls` prettier (with a few extra bells and whistles) without having to relearn a new workflow, something like an `ls` replacement makes more sense.

- pmarreck 2y agopls looks useful and I will retain it but eza is giving more icons for more things via (this is my alias for `l`, basically) `eza --long --hyperlink --header --all --icons --git --sort name` also the hyperlink thing is useful
