A modern, maintained replacement for ls, built on exa.
eza is a modern, maintained replacement for the venerable file-listing
command-line program ls that ships with Unix and Linux operating systems,
giving it more features and better defaults.
It uses colours to distinguish file types and metadata.
It knows about symlinks, extended attributes, and Git.
And it's small, fast, and just one single binary

It's been a while since the last release, life happened, but eza found a way regardless.
Major changes have landed since last time. We finished the years long clap migration!
Another cool thing, is eza now counts lines of code for you

And yes, it's still as fast as you'd imagine: takes 4.5 mins to count ~635 GB of source code. Most usages of this feel instant.
For the Nix users, there's also a new way to view file paths that's quite nice:
