exa is a modern replacement for the Unix `ls` command, written in Rust as a single fast binary. It adds colors, icons, tree views, Git integration, and better defaults to directory listing.
Use cases
- list files with colors and icons in the terminal
- show directory trees from the command line
- view file metadata including Git status and extended attributes
- replace ls with better defaults
- filter and sort directory listings with glob patterns
When to choose
- you want a featureful, colorful ls replacement on Unix/Linux or macOS
- you need Git-aware file listings or tree views in the terminal
When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained tool - use the eza fork instead
- you need Windows-native support
