I didn't know I needed it, but what I know is that I will download it.
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.
I see. I suppose that exa is abandoned for two years or more and perhaps there’s no connection with maintainer. So then fork.
Absolutely nothing.... but for some reason I find it interesting when people rewrite things that I didn't know needed rewrites. Sometimes these projects are doing someting really interesting. Grep is one such example, noone was saying that grep needed a replacement. In fact, it was used as a benchmark for regex (which is how rg started, to compare rust regex against grep), then someone creates rg that outperforms grep and is much nicer to use. That is also why I keep an eye on GitOxide, since nobody ever accused git of being slow, yet there are someone rewriting git with amazing performance improvements.
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.

I've used exa before and it's great software.What is the difference between exa and exz?
