Good to hear. I’ve been on exa for a while now and would hate going back.

Sad to hear of the original author’s disappearance. Hopefully they’re ok!

To my surprise this was already in the official Arch repos. I used lsd in the past and wonder how it compares to eza .

one thing lsd can do that is AFAIK unique: report actual file size on directories

worth having installed for this feature alone

Alpine made the switch the other day. Didn’t have to do anything except update. I like it when things work out like that, hope the original exa author is chillin somewhere enjoying themselves.

Arch automatically replaced it ~2 weeks ago

Used exa on Windows despite the bugginess (there was a PR making it work on Windows that I’d cargo install directly), and I’m glad to see it forked and in active development. These days I use nu and its ls command, but I would highly recommend exa for people using more standard shells.
