I use colorized ls by default and get a bit peeved by how I have to jump through hoops to get that on OSX by default. If it works out. i'll probably alias "ls" to "exa" in the future.

That said, the binary isn't self-contained (I know, I know) so I was in the middle of compiling it from source before being pulled away for work. Looking forward to trying it.

It wouldn't be right if something didn't go badly wrong at the worst possible moment!


exa: error while loading shared libraries: libhttp_parser.so.2.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Interesting. Why does it need an HTTP parser?! Some accidental dependency maybe?


Looks like it has some form of git support, via libgit2. Dependency chain for that is probably where it came from.
