+
+## What it is
+
+lsd ("LSDeluxe") is a rewrite of `ls` that adds colors, file-type icons and a tree view, while keeping most of `ls`'s familiar options. It's an alternative to eza if you prefer its look.
+
+```
+lsd -l --tree --depth 2
+```
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Familiar flags.** Most `ls` options work as you expect.
+- **Choice.** Some people prefer its layout and colors to eza's.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+lsd is installed from pacman with no aliases: CoreDesktop's `ls` aliases use eza. Type `lsd` to use it. `update` keeps it current along with the rest of the pacman packages.
