Automatically run ls whenever you enter a different directory. Add ignore rules to ignore certain directories. Works with fish built-in cd, cdh and shell agnostic programs such as zoxide.
Using Fisher
fisher install kpbaks/autols.fishautols.fish is enabled by default. You can disable it by using the provided function autols.
autols off # disable autols
autols on # enable autols
autols status # check if autols is enabled
autols toggle # toggle autolsYou can add ignore rules to ignore certain directories. This is useful if you have a directory with a lot of files, and you don't want to run ls every time you enter it. Ignore rules are edited using the autols function.
autols ignore add <directory> # add a directory to the ignore list
autols ignore "*/build/" # Ignore all directories named build
autols ignore rm <directory> # remove a directory from the ignore list
autols ignore list # list all ignored directories
autols ignore clear # clear all ignored directoriesSee autols --help for more information.
fish has an event system that allows you to run functions when certain events occur. In this case, we want to run ls whenever we enter a new directory. To do this, we listen to the fish_postexec event, and check if the current directory is different from the previous one. If it is, we run ls and update the previous directory.
