🔧 Usage

Base aliases

alias	default options
`l`	`exa`
`ll`	`exa --group --header --group-directories-first --long`
`ll` in git repo	`exa --group --header --group-directories-first --long --git`
`lg`	`exa --group --header --group-directories-first --long --git --git-ignore`
`le`	`exa --group --header --group-directories-first --long --extended`
`lt`	`exa --group --header --group-directories-first --tree --level LEVEL`
`lc`	`exa --group --header --group-directories-first --across`
`lo`	`exa --group --header --group-directories-first --oneline`

Extended aliases

Each base alias has its extended versions with additional options.

An extended alias is one of the form <BASE ALIAS><SUFFIX> with suffix from the following:

Extend suffix	Default options
`a`	`--all --binary`
`d`	`--only-dirs`
`i`	`--icons`
`id`	`--icons --only-dirs`
`aa`	`--all --binary --all`
`ad`	`--all --binary --only-dirs`
`ai`	`--all --binary --icons`
`aid`	`--all --binary --icons --only-dirs`
`aad`	`--all --binary --all --only-dirs`
`aai`	`--all --binary --all --icons`
`aaid`	`--all --binary --all --icons --only-dirs`

Any of these suffixes appended to any previous base alias is a valid alias too (eg: ll + a => lla).

Examples:

  la => --all --binary
        -------a------

llad => --all --binary --only-dirs --group --header --group-directories-first --long
        ------------ad------------  -----------------------ll------------------------

ltaa => --all --binary --all --group --header --group-directories-first --tree --level LEVEL
        ---------aa---------  ------------------------------lt--------------------------------

Extended options are always prepended to base aliases options.

Auto detect git repository

Exa has --git options displaying git status of each file in a dedicated column (when using the long view).

When inside a git repo, the --git option will be automatically added to every alias beginning with ll (as --git only works with --long) (lla, llaa, llid etc).

🛠 Configuration

Configuration is done through environment variables.

To avoid spamming your config.fish, you can set environment variables using set -Ux once, to make them persistent across restarts and share them across fish's instances.

⚠️ : Don't use quotes in variables, set them as a list: set -Ux EXA_STANDARD_OPTIONS --long --all

Default options

EXA_STANDARD_OPTIONS

default exa options used in all aliases except l

default : --group --header --group-directories-first

Aliases options

You can define per alias options using an env variable named EXA_<ALIAS>_OPTIONS.

For example, to customize ll specific options, you would store them in EXA_LL_OPTIONS

Extended suffixes have their env variable as well : EXA_<SUFFIX>_OPTIONS.
