The release also included a renamed alias that settled an argument more philosophical than technical. “ll” had long pointed to different ls flags depending on who edited your dotfiles; CustTermux chose clarity. It standardized a set of aliases meant to be unambiguous on small screens: compact file listings, colorless output for piping, and stable behavior when combined with busybox utilities. A contributor laughed in a comment that the alias was “boring but responsible.” Boring can be kind, the project had learned—especially when your phone is your primary computer.
