colorls: List files one per line.
$ colorls -1
try on your machine
The command "colorls -1" is used to display the contents of a directory in a single column list format, with colorized output.
- "colorls" is a program that provides colorized output for the "ls" command, making it easier to visually distinguish different types of files and directories.
- "-1" is an option flag that specifies the format in which the listing should be displayed. In this case, it indicates a single column list format, where each file or directory appears on its own separate line.
So when you run the "colorls -1" command, it will list the contents of the current directory in a single column, with each entry colorized to indicate its type (e.g., directories in one color, executable files in another, etc.).

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
