exa is a (currently unmaintained -- see below) command-line utility for listing files. It is promoted as "a modern replacement for ls" with features not present in ls, such as showing git status. [2] [3] exa is one of the first applications written in Rust to be included in Fedora, [4] [2] openSUSE, [5] and Gentoo. [6]

In September 2023, its maintainer redirected people to the fork eza instead, after its original author became unreachable. [7]
