On: Exa: An alternative to Ls

[open-paren]

I've been using lsd[0] as my ls replacement for a while. I like that it has a config file for defaults, so I don't have to change a bunch of aliases when setting up a new system.

I switched to LSD from Exa as soon as I realized that Exa wasn't a ls drop-in replacement -- it's been great so far.

Thanks! It's always nice to read HN threads and get "better" (subjective maybe) alternatives than the original post

I'm also enjoying lsd, to the point where I've aliased ls to it. The file icons are fun.

Same here. It's great.

It's also a lot faster than exa!
