utility

Utility aliases and functions.

Adds colour to ls, grep and less.

If file ${HOME}/.dir_colors exists, then its configuration will be set using dircolors (GNU only).

If lsd (LSDeluxe) is available, it will be aliased to ls.

Aliases

ls

• ls lists directories first (GNU only) and with colour (applies to all aliases below).
• ll lists with long format and human-readable sizes (applies to all aliases below).
• l lists all files.
• lm lists all files using pager.
• lr lists recursively (as a tree with lsd).
• lx lists sorted by extension (GNU or lsd only).
• lk lists sorted by largest file size last.
• lt lists sorted by newest modification time last.
• lc lists sorted by newest status change (ctime) last (not with lsd).

File downloads

• get downloads from the given URL using aria2c, axel, wget or curl.

Resource usage

• df reports file system disk usage with human-readable sizes.
• du reports file disk usage with human-readable sizes.

Condoms

• chmod changes file mode verbosely, not operating from / (GNU only).
• chown changes file owner verbosely, not operating from / (GNU only).
• rm uses safe-rm if available.

Functions

• mkcd creates and changes to the given directory.
• mkpw generates a random password with the given length and set of characters. The default parameters are equivalent to mkpw 32 0-9A-Za-z.

utility's Issues

NO_COLOR being applied to visual studio code when started from the dock

• I've checked the existing issues and I'm not duplicating a report.
• I'm using the latest version of zimfw.
• I've checked the Changelog and I'm not being affected by documented changes.
• I've checked the 📢 Announcements and I'm not being affected by announced changes.
• I was able to reproduce the issue with a clean installation of Zim.
• I've pasted the output of zimfw info below.

Describe the bug
NO_COLOR being set in unintended case.

Steps to reproduce
The fist 4 steps restart the shell with a clean installation of Zim in a temporary directory.
Use exec zsh when restarting the terminal or restarting the shell is needed.

1. Start Visual Studio code from the Dock
2. echo $NO_COLOR yields 1

Uncommenting the following line yields empty on the last step:

utility/init.zsh

Line 78 in ca25027

export NO_COLOR=1

Current behavior
Opening Visual Studio Code from the Dock results in NO_COLOR being set, which is inherited by the built in terminal.

Expected behavior
Opening applications from the Dock should not yield a NO_COLOR context unintentionally.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Use eza/exa, if available

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

While this project supports lsd, many people use eza.

Describe the solution you'd like

Define the same aliases for eza as you do for lsd

Describe alternatives you've considered

Doing it myself, but having this in a plugin that I already source would be better
