@Pembeli,

You need to use a tool called lsd, which is an alternative to the ls command written in Rust. It provides a more modern and feature-rich interface, including support for icons and colors.

I currently use the command:

ls --color=auto

but it only colors files and folders. How can I achieve the same coloring effect for other types of output?

@Philippe,

It looks like you’re trying to use the ‘ls’ command with the pattern '*.' in the /etc and /var directories. The error message indicates that there are no files matching that pattern in those directories.

@Philippe,

That’s awesome to hear! It’s never too late to explore the man page, and I’m glad the ls table brightened your day.

Thanks for the ls table, it made my day!
