eza - A Modern, Powerful File Lister (Alternative to ls)
eza is a modern replacement for the command-line program 'ls', providing enhanced features, better defaults, and a more aesthetically pleasing output for navigating and understanding your file system.
Project Introduction
Summary
eza is a command-line utility built as a modern, feature-packed alternative to the standard 'ls' command. It offers improved readability, detailed information display, and integration with modern tools like Git.
Problem Solved
While 'ls' is a fundamental Unix command, it lacks many modern features and customization options that power users and developers often need. eza solves this by providing color-coded output, icons, Git status information, and detailed file/directory insights out-of-the-box.
Core Features
Rich, Colorized Output
Files and directories are color-coded by type, permissions, and age for instant visual parsing.
Git Integration
Displays Git status information (e.g., modified, staged) directly in the file listing.
Detailed File Information
Shows file sizes, permissions, ownership, hard links, and modification times in an easy-to-read format.
Tree View
Ability to list directory contents recursively in a tree-like structure.
Tech Stack
Use Cases
eza is ideal for anyone who frequently uses the command line to interact with their file system, providing significant improvements in clarity and productivity.
