LSD (LSDeluxe) in Git Bash

Question

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?

Answer 1

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
