eza - A modern, fast, and feature-rich replacement for 'ls'
eza is an enhanced version of the 'ls' command, providing better defaults, more features, and improved readability for displaying file and directory information.
Project Introduction
Summary
eza is a command-line file lister written in Rust, designed as a modern, feature-rich, and user-friendly replacement for the standard 'ls' command.
Problem Solved
The traditional 'ls' command can be basic and lack features needed for modern workflows. eza addresses this by offering more information, better formatting, and enhanced features like Git integration and tree view out-of-the-box.
Core Features
Git Integration
Integrates directly with Git to show file status (modified, added, etc.) alongside the listing.
File Type Icons
Displays icons next to files to quickly identify file types.
Enhanced File Information
Shows detailed file permissions, including ACLs, and includes human-readable file sizes.
Tree View
Supports displaying directories and their contents in a hierarchical tree structure.
