oh, my bad, I got you wrong! could you add some tests for this feature and we can pass the CI

[dsully]

Hey, what sort of tests would you like? Since it's pretty much just pattern matching.

[meain]

We should probably colors the items using lscolors and not just builtin colors.

[zwpaper]

@meain the coloring is using the default mechanism, it would already use the LSCOLOR if I get the coloring logic right.

[meain]

Ahh, my bad I misread what the code was doing.

@dsully I found a small issue in the code. If the symlink is relative and we are not calling lsd from the same directory that it was symlinked from, it does not work.

cd /tmp
mkdir -p test/{a,b}
cd test
touch a/file
cd b
ln -s ../a/file file
cd ..
lsd -ld b/file

[dsully]

Ok, I'll take a look.
