I just learned:
https://github.com/ogham/exa the ls replacement has been replaced by https://github.com/eza-community/eza
the exa repo says:
exa is unmaintained, use the fork eza instead.
(This repository isn’t archived because the only person with the rights to do so is unreachable).
For the curious, looks like the story, contributor deliberations and conversations are here: [Question] Is this project still being actively maintained? · Issue #1139 · ogham/exa
hope everyone involved is OK & on to other projects
both projects are MIT licensed and written in rust.
Alpine made the switch the other day. Didn’t have to do anything except update. I like it when things work out like that, hope the original exa author is chillin somewhere enjoying themselves.
