Classify
ls –classify or ls -F will append characters to files to show their type:
* / directory
* * executable
Code: ls -F
directory/ me.jpeg script.sh*
ls –color=tty
Will color the ‘ls’ output. Directories are blue, regular files stay black (or white) and executable files are green.
Make an Alias of your prefered method.
Example:
alias ls=’ls –color=tty –classify’
List only directories
ls -d */
Will list only dentries ended by a “/”, and with the “-d” option, will not descend into the next level of directory.
