gly is a PowerShell module that adds configurable visual formatting to PowerShell file system objects without replacing PowerShell's object pipeline.

It formats:

• System.IO.FileInfo
• System.IO.DirectoryInfo

The default experience keeps the familiar PowerShell table columns:

• Mode
• LastWriteTime
• Length
• Name

Only Name is visually enhanced by the MVP. Renderer commands provide additional interactive layouts.

Design Goals

gly is intentionally small and PowerShell-native:

• preserve pipeline semantics;
• keep input FileInfo and DirectoryInfo objects unchanged;
• use PowerShell format data for the standard view;
• store MVP configuration only in memory;
• make terminal-dependent behavior explicit and configurable;
• avoid Git-aware or executable-aware formatting in the MVP.
