eza: community fork of exa (exa: modern replacement for ls)
A modern, maintained replacement for ls. Contribute to eza-community/eza development by creating an account on GitHub.
I just learned:
https://github.com/ogham/exa the ls replacement has been replaced by https://github.com/eza-community/eza
the exa repo says:
exa is unmaintained, use the fork eza instead.
(This repository isn’t archived because the only person with the rights to do so is unreachable).
For the curious, looks like the story, contributor deliberations and conversations are here: [Question] Is this project still being actively maintained? · Issue #1139 · ogham/exa
hope everyone involved is OK & on to other projects
both projects are MIT licensed and written in rust.
Good to hear. I’ve been on exa for a while now and would hate going back.
Sad to hear of the original author’s disappearance. Hopefully they’re ok!
Arch automatically replaced it ~2 weeks ago
To my surprise this was already in the official Arch repos. I used
lsdin the past and wonder how it compares toeza.one thing
lsdcan do that is AFAIK unique amongstls-type tools: report actual file size on directoriesworth having installed for this feature alone
Alpine made the switch the other day. Didn't have to do anything except update. I like it when things work out like that, hope the original exa author is chillin somewhere enjoying themselves.
Used
exaon Windows despite the bugginess (there was a PR making it work on Windows that I'dcargo installdirectly), and I'm glad to see it forked and in active development. These days I usenuand itslscommand, but I would highly recommendexafor people using more standard shells.
