pls 1.0.0

`pls` is a better `ls` for developers.

pls is a better ls for developers. The "p" stands for "pro" as in "professional" or "programmer".

It works in a manner similar to ls, in that it lists directories and files in a given directory, but it adds many more developer-friendly features.

Note that pls is not a replacement for ls. ls is a tried, tested and trusted tool with lots of features. pls, on the other hand, is a simple tool for people who just want to see the contents of their directories.

Features

pls provides many features over ls command. pls can:

• show Nerd Font icons or emoji next to files and directories making it easier to grep the output
• colour output to further distinguish important files
• use a more nuanced approach to hidden files than plainly hiding files with a leading dot .
• groups directories and shows them all before files
• ignores leading dots . in sorting files

The icon, color and most behaviour in the application can be configured using plain-text YAML files for the pros who prefer to tweak their tools.

Upcoming features

In the future pls will be able to

• generate visibility rules by parsing .gitingore
• add MIME type as another method for matching files to specs
• use complete path based matching for files
• cascade specs based on specificity levels
• provide channels to extend specs per user, per project
• link files and hide derived files behind the main ones
• support more columns like permissions, owner and size
• support for tree-like output

If you want to help implement any of these features, feel free to submit a PR. pls is free and open-source software.
