GitHub - eza-community/eza: A modern, maintained 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https://github.com/ogham/exa the ls replacement has been replaced by https://github.com/eza-community/eza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.

    To my surprise this was already in the official Arch repos. I used lsd in the past and wonder how it compares to eza .

      one thing lsd can do that is AFAIK unique amongst ls-type tools: report actual file size on directories

      worth having installed for this feature alone
