exa (command-line utility)

exa is a command-line utility for listing files. It is promoted as "a modern replacement for ls" with features not present in ls, such as showing git status.[2][3] exa is one of the first applications written in Rust to be included in Fedora,[4][2] openSUSE,[5] and Gentoo.[6]
