+version: 'latest'
+summary: Replacement for 'ls' written in Rust
+description: |
+  It uses colours for information by default, helping you distinguish between
+  many types of files, such as whether you are the owner, or in the owning
+  group. It also has extra features not present in the original ls, such as
+  viewing the Git status for a directory, or recursing into directories with a
+  tree view. exa is written in Rust, so it’s small, fast, and portable.
