Rice	Making Linux Cool - Dynamically	2026-02-24	rice bash	linux

I like the fun linux commands that rice out your setup but I don't like having to remember when/how to use them.

I've got my .bashrc that calls everything in .bashrc.d/*. In there I've started throwing in files with custom config options.

Here's a quick ls function that's context aware. I'll be expanding it as I learn better ways to use eza or similar listing tools.

alias ls='_ls' 
# ls: use eza with git info inside git repos, plain ls elsewhere
_ls() {
    if git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree &>/dev/null; then
        eza -l -h --git --git-repos --total-size --no-user --git-ignore --icons "$@"
    else
        command ls "$@"
    fi
}
