Customize Linux directory colours by setting $LS_COLORS

This isn’t particularly relevant any more, but I figured I’d make a page for this anyway. See shell-random and go hunting through my dotfiles for Dash, Bash and Zsh.

A set of applications which run on a computer’s operating system. They allow a person to actually make use of a computer. These applications are the link between the user’s desires and fulfillment of those desires, e.g. projects.

This topic is the never-ending quest for a comfortable operating system and suite of software.
