If you feel that you need a Rust replacement for 'ls', that apparently exists (github.com)

GNU ls has those features too (except knowing about Git). I'd be surprised if BSD ls doesn't at least have color support.

...not that I'm not going to check out eza and probably switch to it! But it's often worth knowing what features the GNU/BSD coreutils do or do not support...especially when comparing other tools against them.

Edit: I just checked, and this set of options works on both BSD and GNU ls, in case anyone wants better ls behavior on a system where you can't install eza for some reason:

ls -FH --color=auto

F appends sigils indicating executables, symlinks, or directories, and H follows any symlinks in the argument list.

exa (which OP's readme says eza is built on) supports creation times. Actual creation time (the "Birth" line in stat output), not ctime.
