Shellmoji

Shellmoji is a simple human-readable implementation of emojis in a command-line used to represent different icons that wouldn’t appear in a shell otherwise.

Usage

Temporarily, the configuration will be done manually, as I don’t suggest using this for a daily system, it’s not been fully tested.

To enable it, override your ls command with an alias, run this:

alias ls='bash ~/shellmoji/aliases.sh'

You can also add it to your ~/.bashrc file if you want it to last forever. Simply run this:

echo "alias ls='bash ~/shellmoji/aliases.sh'" >> ~/.bashrc

Finally, simply run ls and you’ll be up and running.
