# zsh exa plugin

Small zsh plugin to add useful aliases for [exa](https://github.com/ogham/exa).

## What it does

```bash

# Group directories first, show icons, and enable file size color scale

alias ls='exa --group-directories-first --icons --color-scale'

alias lt='exa --tree --level=2 --icons' # Show in tree view

alias l='ls -a'                         # Short, all files

alias ld='l -D'                         # Short, only directories

alias ll='ls -lbG --git'                # Long, file size prefixes, grid, git status

alias la='ll -a'                        # Long, all files

alias lC='la --sort=changed'            # Long, sort changed

alias lM='la --sort=modified'           # Long, sort modified

alias lS='la --sort=size'               # Long, sort size

alias lX='la --sort=extension'          # Long, sort extension

```

## What it needs

- zsh

- exa

- patched font with glyphs

## Get it

Install exa, for platform specific [installation instructions check here](https://github.com/ogham/exa#installation).

You will also need a patched font with icons (glyphs).  

I recommend using one of the [nerd-fonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts).

### Oh My Zsh

Clone zsh-exa to your `$ZSH_CUSTOM` plugins directory.

```bash

git clone https://github.com/RitchieS/zsh-exa.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-exa

```

Then add zsh-exa to your plugins array in your `.zshrc` file.

```bash

plugins=(.. zsh-exa)

```

### Manual install

Clone zsh-exa and add `source /zsh-exa.plugin.zsh` to your `.zshrc` file.

```bash

git clone https://github.com/RitchieS/zsh-exa.git

echo "source `pwd`/zsh-exa/zsh-exa.plugin.zsh" >> ~/.zshrc

```
