Day 1: ls-clone

A tiny C program that mimics ls but adds a splash of colour and emojis to make directory listings.

The project is part of a personal coding challenge: Write a small C Programm Every Day (When i have Time(probably never))

Features

• Lists files in the current directory (or a path passed as an argument).
• Detects file type by extension and applies colour + emoji.
• Works on Linux/macOS (uses dirent.h and ANSI escape codes).
• No external dependencies – just the C standard library.
