exa VS starship

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'.

In addition to what n4jm4 said above, it is worth mentioning https://starship.rs/ prompt for further beautifying / customizing your prompt.

As for the terminal itself honestly it just comes with time. Really go trough some effort to make your terminal your own; find what shell emulators you like I use one called alacrity myself. Take the time to customize it to your liking. For me, thats adding tools like cgywin to my windows; or swapping shells on linux entirely to something like fish. Customizing the look with tools like starship

GNU nano 6.2 redditcomment.txt + Wallpaper: nordic landscapes by wallpaperflare.com + Theme: Nord, github Nordic-darker-v40 + Shell theme: Nordic-darker-v40 + shell prompt: starship + starship configured with Nordic palette: nordic-starship-toml (github) + Icons: papirus, github + Dock: Nordic-darker-v40 + bashTop: github

I also prefer to use it in Microsoft's new Terminal with Starship

starship

https://starship.rs - Cross shell theme. It's configurable, can be made to look like yours and it supports even cmd.exe of all things. \s)

🫴 Starship – CLI terminal prompt.

Looks like zsh integrated with starship. Highly recommend it myself, the information that can be glanced from just the shell by the activated modules is awesome

I know people have already answered correctly so this is more of an alternative but I like https://starship.rs/ for customizing my prompt. This is the config file I use: https://github.com/Fitzsimmons/term/blob/67ae99be001afed0aa345afd149d5ce0a2589a30/starship.toml
