@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.
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.
