  4. I also like eza ( https://github.com/eza-community/eza ) which is a modern ls. Fish is the biggest game changer though.

  5. …it's 1.6 MiB compiled. Looking at the Cargo.toml, it includes git2 with default-features = false. https://github.com/eza-community/eza/blob/main/Cargo.toml

  8. …They are somehow active in contrast to things like exa which is not maintained anymore. eza: ( https://github.com/eza-community/eza ) lsd: ( https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd ) colorls: ( https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls ) g: (…
    comment by elashri · 2024-11-24 · in Show HN: I made an ls alternative for my personal use
  9. exa is abandoned. There is now a maintained fork called eza: https://github.com/eza-community/eza
    comment by netol · 2024-10-09 · in Command Line Tools I Like (2022)
  10. Is this in any way better than eza? https://github.com/eza-community/eza
    comment by mafriese · 2024-10-01 · in Show HN: Facad – A colorful directory listing tool for the command line
  11. exa is unmaintained, you can use the active fork eza instead [1]. [1] https://github.com/eza-community/eza
    comment by elashri · 2024-10-01 · in Show HN: Facad – A colorful directory listing tool for the command line
  12. …be cool to know the differences between Facad, lsd, and eza ( https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd and https://github.com/eza-community/eza ) aka "why do I want to try Facad rather than alternatives". No offense meant, but the latter two already…

  13. Exa has been discontinued, probably worth switching to eza. https://github.com/eza-community/eza

  14. …"auto" mode so if I alias ls to it, ls | sed hacks will likely behave unexpectedly if I enable it: https://github.com/eza-community/eza/issues/703 and this also seems like an instance of it: https://github.com/eza-community/eza/issues/693…

  15. Exa is unmaintained, but there’s a maintained fork called eza - https://github.com/eza-community/eza
    comment by horse666 · 2024-06-15 · in Show HN: Elles – A nicer /bin/ls
  16. Another three very neat ones are - https://github.com/eza-community/eza (ls with some added visual sugar) - https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom (htop but with graphs) - https://github.com/sharkdp/bat (cat with syntax highlight)
    comment by arlort · 2024-03-21 · in Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
  17. …but it's a shame that no tool currently does this. The closest we have is a feature request in Eza: https://github.com/eza-community/eza/issues/472
    comment by nerdponx · 2023-12-08 · in JC converts the output of popular command-line tools to JSON
  18. > it's very hard to salvage the work into a maintained fork. Sometimes, perhaps, but https://github.com/eza-community/eza looked pretty easy, and they even had push access to change the exa repository to point to it.

  19. the community fork "eza" is not is it? https://github.com/eza-community/eza
    comment by froh · 2023-09-07 · in Exa Is Deprecated
  20. > https://github.com/eza-community/eza/releases/tag/v0.11.0 > A new minor release, and the first minor release in the lifetime of eza. Why a minor release? Because we just landed windows support, that's why! Windows support, woohoo!
