k: A Shell repository from StreakyCobra

k is the new l, yo

Directory listings for zsh with git features

k is a zsh script / plugin to make directory listings more readable, adding a bit of color and some git status information on files and directories.

Git status on entire repos

Git status on files within a working tree

File weight colours

Files sizes are graded from green for small (< 1k), to red for huge (> 1mb).

Human readable files sizes
Human readable files sizes can be shown by using the -h flag, which requires the numfmt command to be available. OS X / Darwin does not have a numfmt command by default, so GNU coreutils needs to be installed, which provides gnumfmt that k will also use if available. GNU coreutils can be installed on OS X with homebrew:

brew install coreutils

Rotting dates

Dates fade with age.

We'd like to make this POSIX compliant so that it can be used with bash and other shells. But don't really know anything about shell scripting, so if you think you could help that would be coooool :)

Thanks

Paul Falstad for zsh
Robby Russell for making the shell fun with oh my zsh
Sindre Sorhus for fast git commands from zsh pure theme
Rupa for that slammin' strapline
