eza is a modern, maintained replacement for the venerable file-listing command-line program ls that ships with Unix and Linux operating systems. eza is a fork of exa (the original modern ls replacement) which has gone unmaintained — eza continues development with new features, bug fixes, and ongoing security review.
It is written in Rust, available on every major OS, and a daily-driver upgrade for terminal users.
Modern replacement for ls. Colors, icons, git status, hyperlinks, tree view — actively maintained.
