exa VS skim

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'.

There’s also a variety of fuzzy finders like https://github.com/lotabout/skim or fzf. Basically the same thing, but different interface.

Have you ever tried sk? skim is an fzf re-write in 🦞. While I use it occasionally, I never really incorporated fzf into my workflow so I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

I’m not familiar at all with fzf, but I do know that skim supports this.

You state that as a blank and white fact, but there's nuance.

fzf skim

Agreed, but use skim instead

fzf | skim (fuzzy finder)

Is it better then using skim?
