exa

In portability-related news, there's now an official armv7 build. And with luck, this will be the last version without Windows support.

exa v0.10.0 is out! Go grab it: github.com/ogham/exa/rele…

There's now a page in the documentation for icons, if you have trouble using them: the.exa.website/features/icons

@maxvonhippel You need to use a font with icon support. (That’s not documented, but it will be soon.) Try installing one of the ‘Nerd Fonts’, which are variants of regular fonts with the icon characters patched in.

@DarkainMX Hey! Sorry for the late reply on this — I’ve been working on upgrading the build pipeline so I can build ARM binaries, at least. My target is the end of the year so I can use it for the next release.

Hey @dot_slash_exa Love the utility, use it in a lot of places. Curious though. Is there ever going to be official ARM or Aarch64 binaries? We have them on #FreeBSD, but not Linux.

@ananth Thank you! exa does have a man page, though. If it’s not on your computer, you could try installing it manually: github.com/ogham/exa/blob…

I like exa's output. Easier to glance than ls. I'll set @dot_slash_exa as my `l` alias. One small glitch: I love man pages and `man exa` shows something completely irrelevant. #linux #cli #rust

@binitamshah literal nobody: exa: we wrote an ls replacement!

@_adonisk You’ll have to use it as the terminal font.

@dot_slash_exa @soapdog Do I have to set my terminal's font to one of the patched fonts or I just have to have it installed?

exa v0.9.0, with bug fixes, crash fixes (!), icons, more colours, and other things: the.exa.website/releases/v0.9.0

@hoodie_de You did make me go and check though

@hoodie_de It does? I built it with 1.36.0

Thanks to everyone who contributed, or poked me until I got the release ready

On day 6 of #AdventOfCode we are saying goodbye to "ls" and give a warm welcome to "exa" , an ls-replacement with beautiful defaults 🎨 written in @rustlang felipesere.com/advent/?day=6 🌟

exa: A modern replacement for ls. the.exa.website

Time to get through the issues and PRs list for the first time in… a few months!

Aaaaaand it’s back. (I got unflagged.)

exa has dropped off GitHub and I have no idea why!
