Installation
------------

exa is written in [Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org). You'll have to use the nightly -- I try to keep it up to date with the latest version when possible. Once you have it set up, a simple `cargo build` will pull in all the dependencies and compile exa.

Add --oneline option Also, rename old 'lines' view to 'details' which makes more sense 2014-07-22 19:47:30 +00:00			`- -1, --oneline: display one entry per line`
Add options to readme 2014-06-28 11:20:50 +00:00			`- -a, --all: show dot files`
			`- -b, --binary: use binary (power of two) file sizes`
Add a flag to print directories as files Also, re-use the stat result from directory-checking. 2014-11-25 01:27:26 +00:00			`- -d, --list-dirs: list directories as regular files`
Add options to readme 2014-06-28 11:20:50 +00:00			`- -g, --group: show group as well as user`
			`- -h, --header: show a header row`
Add grid view by default This makes it more like ls. The --long (-l) argument has been added to get at the old behaviour, and the --links argument is now on -H. I can't crib this behaviour from ls because it shows it by default. TODO: The terminal size is currently assumed to be 80, and it uses the string length, rather than the width. 2014-07-06 16:33:40 +00:00			`- -H, --links: show number of hard links column`
Add options to readme 2014-06-28 11:20:50 +00:00			`- -i, --inode: show inode number column`
