I didn’t know I needed it, but what I know is that I will download it.
This was posted a few days ago. It’s a great collection.
bat and rg I actually have already… but now you make me waste so much time fiddling with all these ;)
fd
saves me so much time. I actually understandfind
better than I wish I did, andfd
is just so, so much easier.
Don’t forget about lsd
Hmm 🤔 something new for me. I’m in love with exa. What’s wrong with that?
me too, apparently they added some features and fixes. i wonder why they did it on a fork instead of pushing it upstream.
oh that’s why: https://feddit.de/comment/2583070
I’ve had
ls
aliased toexa
for a while. So it looks like eza is a fork of exa? The git feature looks interesting.The owner of
exa
hasn’t been active for close to 2 years and the project isn’t very actively maintained.eza
is a community maintained fork. Context: https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/1139#issuecomment-1656702098From
eza
’s readme:eza features not in exa (non-exhaustive):
- Fixes “The Grid Bug” introduced in exa 2021.
- Hyperlink support.
- Selinux context output.
- Git repo status output.
- Human readable relative dates.
- Several security fixes (see dependabot)
- Many smaller bug fixes/changes!
Kind of nice actually. I have been using exa as a replacement for ls (also in Rust) but I like the tree like view here of files.
Anyone tried it and has an argument as to why people should use it over ls?
‘Should’ is a pretty strong word, try it out if you want.
I mainly use it because it colorizes the output nicer than ls, but it also has git awareness if you need it.
What’s wrong with
ls
?It’s not cool. :)
