You're gonna love it!
I've recently discovered this replacment for ls for Mac and Linux, and I love it!
You can find full instructions in their website:
And I'm going to sumarize the steps:
Ubuntu
apt install exa
MacOS
brew install exa
Configuration
You can edit your .bashrc or .zshrc file in your home path, and you can write this code down at the end of the file:
if [ -x "$(command -v exa)" ]; then
alias ll="exa --long --all --group --icons --time-style=long-iso"
fi
Tree View
You can get a beautifull Tree view using this command:
exa --tree --level=2
To Sum up
You can easily change your 'default' ls program with this new one and enjoy everyday!
