# exa [](https://travis-ci.org/ogham/exa)
|
|
|
|
[exa](http://bsago.me/exa) is a replacement for `ls` written in Rust.
|
|
|
|
**You'll have to use the nightly, rather than Rust 1.0 stable or 1.1 beta. Sorry about that.**

## Options
|
|
|
|
exa's options are similar, but not exactly the same, as `ls`.
|
|
|
|
### Filtering Options
|
|
|
|
- **-a**, **--all**: show dot files
|
|
- **-d**, **--list-dirs**: list directories as regular files
|
|
- **--group-directories-first**: list directories before other files
|
|
- **-L**, **--level=(depth)**: maximum depth of recursion
|
|
- **-R**, **--recurse**: recurse into subdirectories
|
|
|
|
### View Options
|
|
|
|
- **-1**, **--oneline**: display one entry per line
|
|
- **-r**, **--reverse**: reverse sort order

|
- **-x**, **--across**: sort multi-column view entries across
|
|
- **-T**, **--tree**: recurse into subdirectories in a tree view
|
|
|
|
You can sort by **name**, **size**, **ext**, **inode**, **modified**, **created**, **accessed**, or **none**.
|
|
|
|
### Long Format
|
|
|
|
- **-b**, **--binary**: use binary (power of two) file sizes
|

## 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 `make install` will compile exa and install it into `/usr/local/bin`.
|
|
|
|
exa depends on [libgit2](https://github.com/alexcrichton/git2-rs) for certain features. If you're unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by passing `--no-default-features` to Cargo.
