IMO if you want to replace ls it has to be a 2 character command. I can type ls super fast with two hands. exa is really awkward to type.

- creamytaco 5y agoalias .. but exa is not backwards compatible with ls OOPS Which is why I stick with ls (and grep instead of rg and coreutils instead of shiny rust equivalent), I can't deal with the cognitive dissonance that arises from these differences.
- incanus77 5y agoI aliased `ls` to it… I don’t know how long ago. It’s been great.
- nsonha 5y agowhat can break when you alias standard system command name to some random program downloaded from the internet.
- O_H_E 5y agoone-liners you copy and paste! no seriously, when you properly alias something in your .bashrc, they only take effect in an interactive shell. ie: an `alias ll='ls -halF' in your bashrc does not work if you do `bash -c 'll' nor `./fileThatContainsll`
- omgmajk 5y agoI have 'lsd -al' aliased as 'l', it works fantastic.
