.SH NAME
exa - a modern replacement for ls
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B exa
[\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fIFILES...\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
exa is a modern replacement for ls. 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.
