I didn’t know I needed it, but what I know is that I will download it.

    I’ve had ls aliased to exa 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-1656702098

      From 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!
