@aral Thanks for the reminder, finally installed exa! That git column is really useful.
Went with:
alias l='exa -lh --git --all --no-permissions'
alias la='exa -lh --git --all --octal-permissions'
Personally I too rarely need to see the permissions to justify the noise, but "la" will then show them including the octal if I need them.
@aral I now use lsd as a modern replacement for ls 😉
@aral i'm liking --icons too. you might need to get fonts from https://www.nerdfonts.com/
@aral thanks for pointing it out -- exa is great!
@aral but if one use fish as a shell instead bash, you have to adapt all bash scripts from #!/bin/bash to #!/bin/fish or something else.
How do you circumvent this problem?
@necrosis Nope. Your bash scripts with the correct shebang will continue to be run in bash, same as before. Your choice of interactive shell does not change that.
@aral Wow this is awesome, might have to install this on my work machine!
In case anyone’s interested, I also wrote a little something a few weeks ago about my fish shell setup and some other tools like exa that I find useful.
