yay VS exa

yay is a robust and user-friendly AUR (Arch User Repository) helper for Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions written in Go.

paru has better defaults and --chroot, whereas it's still an open issue for yay.

If you use AUR packages, you might want to use an AUR helper that wraps pacman, like paru or yay.

This one: https://github.com/Jguer/yay Didn't know there were others..

you can use an aur helper like yay

Yay is hopelessly broken, it pretends to rebuild stuff when, in fact, it doesn't. See: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/2153

It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...

Can compile to a single binary to build tools like exa

Try https://github.com/ogham/exa and exa -T -L2 command . It will generate a good folder structure tree to update the question

Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.

Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.

For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Hi! I use this: https://the.exa.website, and the package to this: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/exa/

I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.
