exa VS fd

that's exa instead of ls there, cbonsai, and dt's shell color scripts, pipes-rs

exa

I finally got tired of not having directories first on macOS, and - for me - something like exa <https://the.exa.website/> was overkill. So I dug into the source code, hunted down the missing BSD-licensed headers, figured out how to work around the APSL headers, and smoothed out the rough edges.

Very much a personal itch-scratching exercise and only a couple hours worth of work, but maybe it'll be useful for someone else.

Exa (alternative for ls)

exa: serve como alternativa ao “ls”; e

"exa" -- A modern replacement for "ls" with proper formatting, color highlighting, and git awareness.

You can also use exa with the --icons option

Both LSD and exa are replacements for the ls command. They both look gorgeous with nice colors and icons and have features like headers, sorting, tree views, and so on. Exa is a bit faster than LSD for tree views and can show the Git status of files and folders. I prefer exa due to the Git support and faster tree views. I have set up my ls alias to use exa by default. Both can be configured to show custom columns and sorting behaviors.

In fact ls -A don't work because is a alias to 'exa'.

Yeah. I do use fd a lot. It will respect your .gitignores and is much faster than find in general. Sometimes find will be really slow just because it’ll scan through your entire node_modules and stuff. If you also know you only care about file in e.g. your src/ directory, then you can constrain it to that which will be faster. I think it will probably be fast enough for your purposes.

Personally I prefer the tool fd.

🫴 fd – CLI: Simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find.

Fd (alternative for find)

There is also fdfind, an alternative to find with support for parallel command execution.

fd is a simpler alternative to find. It is more intuitive to use and comes with sensible defaults. It is extremely fast due to parallel traversing and shows a modern colorized output and supports patterns and regex, parallel commands, smart case, understands .gitignore files, and so on. I have aliased find to fd as I could never remember what options to pass to get a basic find command working.

Although it functions in the same way as FD, a Binary Crate. Rust Crate can thus be described as a library representation of FD with a straightforward and user-friendly API. To increase usability, there are pending pull requests that will soon be released. We anticipate the addition of more Contributors as rust search expands.
