# eza

Override `ls` and `tree` commands to use [eza](https://github.com/eza-community/eza) instead

## Install

Using the [:zap: Zap](https://www.zapzsh.org/) minimal zsh plugin manager, add the following to your `.zshrc`

```sh

# Install plugin

plug "zap-zsh/exa"

```

## ⚠️ Special Attention

As mentioned in [this issue](https://github.com/zap-zsh/exa/issues/3), if you are using [zap-zsh/supercharge](https://github.com/zap-zsh/supercharge) you need to load this plugin after *superchage*, otherwise this plugin won't work because *supercharge* define the same `ls` alias (usefull to colorize `ls` output for who is not using **eza**).



Simply put it **after** supercharge declaration in your `.zshrc` like this:

```sh

# ...

plug "zap-zsh/supercharge"

plug "zap-zsh/exa"

# ...

```

## Usage

### ls

Overpowered `ls` command, will output directories before files and add icons and colors

### ll

Same as `ls` but long lists line by line with details and git integration (if git repo is detected)

### la

Same as `ll` but shows even hidden files and dirs

### tree

Same as the regular UNIX `tree` command but made with eza, so using all the extra stuffs eza provides.


Hidden files/folders are excluded, if you want to include them simply add `-a` flag.

⚠️ NOTE:

It will recurse on every directory producing, in some situations, very long output. You can limit the recursion with `-L `
