If ls does it, there's no reason why exa shouldn't.

Awesome, thanks :-).
What's the general approach with ls-compatibility? Some of the options are already different: -h
in ls
means "show file sizes in a human readable format" which exa
does by default and there it means "show the header row".
Are you shooting for a similar feature set (but nicer defaults and new stuff like the git support) but possibly different options? Or is it more of a case-by-case thing?
from exa.
It's more the former, but there will be things I'll have to decide on a case-by-case basis. In a way, I'm thinking: if it were up to me to write ls, how would I write it? I would have used prefixes by default, since that's what you want >99% of the time - which just happens to free up -h
. I think showing groups by default clutters up the output, so instead of having an option to take them away, there's an option to add them. However, I also get the benefit that exa
isn't installed by default, so I get to add features like Git support that some people would consider "bloat".
Just because ls
has something doesn't automatically mean that exa
should support it too - but it looks like showing directories first is a popular-enough option that it should be included. (For what it's worth, I have no idea why anyone would ever choose that option, but as long as some people like it!)
