eza is a modern, fast, and feature‑rich replacement for the traditional Unix ls command. It is written in Rust, provides colourised output, icons, Git status, and many usability enhancements in a single binary.
Use cases
- list files in a directory with colour‑coded types and icons
- view Git repository status alongside file listings
- display extended attributes, SELinux contexts, and mount point details
- use human‑readable relative dates when browsing files
- integrate with Nix or other package managers for quick installation
When to choose
- You need a drop‑in ls replacement with richer visual information.
- You prefer a single, fast binary written in Rust.
- You work across multiple OSes (Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD) and want consistent behaviour.
When to avoid
- You require strict POSIX compliance or need to run on very minimal systems without Rust binaries.
- You depend on obscure ls flags that eza does not implement.
