====== .dircolors ======

Controls the colours used by ''ls'' (and [[terminal:tools:eza|eza]]) when listing files. Loaded in ''~/.bashrc'' or ''~/.profile'' via:

<code bash>
[ -f ~/.dircolors ] && eval "$(dircolors ~/.dircolors)"
</code>

===== Format =====

Generate a default template to edit:

<code bash>
dircolors --print-database > ~/.dircolors
</code>

Key entries:
<code>
DIR 01;34          # directories — bold blue
LINK 01;36         # symlinks — bold cyan
EXEC 01;32         # executables — bold green
*.tar 01;31        # archives — bold red
*.jpg 00;35        # images — purple
</code>

Colour codes: ''00''=normal, ''01''=bold, ''30-37''=colours (black/red/green/yellow/blue/magenta/cyan/white), ''90-97''=bright variants.

===== Gruvbox Scheme =====

To match the [[indieweb:commonplace_log|Gruvbox Dark]] colour scheme used elsewhere, set earthy amber/orange for directories, muted tones for standard files.
