GNU dircolors

An LS_COLORS database for GNU dircolors, covering file types, permissions, archives, media, source files, and the metadata ls draws around them.

Install

Copy one variant into the standard user-level slot:

cp extras/dircolors/silkcircuit-neon.dircolors ~/.dircolors

Load it in the current shell:

eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)"

Add that eval line to .bashrc or .zshrc to keep the colors across new shells. The installer copies the selected variant and prints the same enable line: ./install.sh --variant neon.

GNU coreutils

The database targets GNU dircolors. The installer activates this extra when either dircolors or gdircolors is on PATH. The second name is what Homebrew's coreutils installs on macOS, so the load line there is:

eval "$(gdircolors -b ~/.dircolors)"

Tools that read LS_COLORS directly, such as lsd, fd, and zsh's completion listings, pick the colors up from the same eval, so the dircolors extra is what themes their file and extension colors.
