«Exa» (@dot_slash_exa) is a superb modern and fast ls replacement that supports colors, file and filesystem info, tree view, git info, and wide view. You have plenty of compute power, so why not take advantage of it and use something better than ls. 🤖💌

It’s easily installed on mac (brew install exa) or linux (e.g. on fedora sudo dnf install exa).

Try:
