If you feel that you need a Rust replacement for 'ls', that apparently exists (github.com)

I've had ls aliased to exa for a while. So it looks like eza is a fork of exa? The git feature looks interesting.

The owner of exa hasn't been active for close to 2 years and the project isn't very actively maintained. eza is a community maintained fork. Context: https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/1139#issuecomment-1656702098

From eza's readme:

eza features not in exa (non-exhaustive):

Fixes “The Grid Bug” introduced in exa 2021.

Hyperlink support.

Selinux context output.

Git repo status output.

Human readable relative dates.

Several security fixes (see dependabot)

Many smaller bug fixes/changes!

exa has a terrible bug: if you set TZ environment variable to ':/path/to', you will get 'Unable to determine time zone: No such file or directory (os error 2)'. Does eza fix it?
