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

Repository git status

Git status on files within a working tree

Repository work tree git status

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
