Some ls alternative for humans.

Defaults checklist.

  • long output
  • dirs are first
  • single column or other view that is easy to scan for names anomalies such as root:root and strange permissions
  • strange permissions are world writable (bad) or protected from others (good)
  • view should give file sizes for humans

Why not exa

  • short output by default is not informative, need a column with sizes
  • -h is not help
  • dirs are not first

Why not lsd

  • exa problems
