LSD (LSDeluxe) in Git Bash

I have tried using LSD and I have a small problem when I use it in CMD it looks very good. LSD in CMD

But when I type LSD in Git Bash the colors are not there but just some text LSD in Git

Does anyone, know how to fix it ?

Solution

  • Its due to a bug which will be fixed soon, the temp fix is setting an alias to .bashrc

    step 1: open git bash

    if you have vscode

     code ~/.bashrc

    or

     nano ~/.bashrc

    step 2: copy the following command to .bashrc

    alias ls="TERM=dumb lsd"

    step 3: save the file and close the git bash terminal

    step 4: reopen the git bash terminal and try using ls instead of lsd it should work when you use ls
