  • -d, --list-dirs: list directories as regular files
  • -g, --group: show group as well as user

Installation

exa is written in Rust. 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.

exa depends on libgit2 for certain features. If you're unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by passing --no-default-features to Cargo.
