# eza

modern replacement for `ls`. supports git integration, tree view, icons, and relative timestamps.

**installed via:** `brew install eza`

**aliases:**
```zsh
alias ls="eza --long --oneline --no-permissions --no-user --smart-group --git --git-repos --sort=modified --time=modified --time-style=relative"
alias ll="eza --long --no-permissions --no-user --smart-group --git --git-repos --tree --level=2 -a --sort=modified --time=modified --time-style=relative"
```

**design choices:**
- sorted by modification time (most recent first) — what you care about is what changed last
- relative timestamps ("2 hours ago") instead of absolute dates
- no permissions/user columns — on a personal machine, that's noise
- `ll` adds tree view at 2 levels deep with hidden files

**part of the shell navigation stack:** eza for listing, [[yazi]] for browsing, [[fzf]] for searching, [[zoxide]] for jumping. eza is the quickest glance — you see it every time you land in a directory.
