On: Exa - A Modern Replacement for ls

[UkiahSmith]

I prefer lsd over exa because the flags are more compatible with standard ls

[varenc → UkiahSmith]

Agreed. I gave up on exa because `ls -tr` doesn’t work.

You mean like this? https://i.imgur.com/g4hl1Rg.png

alias ls="exa -h --group-directories-first --icons -g $@ --git --color always"

[varenc → hohum]

That seems different than sorting by time?

My minor exa gripe is described here: https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/519

Lots of workarounds, even more available now, but I ended up switching to lsd and love it. I like the file type icons.

I think that's what OP means by “easier to alias”
