zsh-eza

A zsh aliases plugin for eza, a replacement for exa.

Differences between zsh-eza and zsh-exa

Both of the plugins are mostly the same except the removal of setting a default TIME-STYLE, eventual decapitation of using command-line options in favor of a configuration file, and renaming of aliases.

Renamed Aliases

There are conflicted and poorly named aliases in the old zsh-exa plugin, this plugin renames them.

Old Aliases	New Aliases
l.	lh
lS	lc

Usage

To use it, install eza.

Then clone this repository into the custom plugins directory as eza of your zsh plugin manager which is $ZSH_CUSTOM, the following is for Oh My Zsh which is ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins.

Finally, add eza to the plugins array of your zshrc file:
