eza: community fork of exa (exa: modern replacement for ls) (github.com)

I just learned:

https://github.com/ogham/exa the ls replacement has been replaced by https://github.com/eza-community/eza

the exa repo says:

exa is unmaintained, use the fork eza instead.
(This repository isn’t archived because the only person with the rights to do so is unreachable).

For the curious, looks like the story, contributor deliberations and conversations are here: [Question] Is this project still being actively maintained? · Issue #1139 · ogham/exa

hope everyone involved is OK & on to other projects

both projects are MIT licensed and written in rust.

Used exa on Windows despite the bugginess (there was a PR making it work on Windows that I'd cargo install directly), and I'm glad to see it forked and in active development. These days I use nu and its ls command, but I would highly recommend exa for people using more standard shells.
