exa

Summary

Installs exa, a modern ls replacement, from a GitHub release binary and installs its Zsh completion file.

Syntax / Usage

zi for \
    atclone'cp -vf completions/exa.zsh _exa'  \
    from'gh-r' \
    sbin'**/exa -> exa' \
  ogham/exa

Details

• from'gh-r' — downloads the release archive from GitHub Releases.
• atclone'cp -vf completions/exa.zsh _exa' — copies the bundled Zsh completion file to _exa in the plugin directory after the initial download, making it available to Zinit’s completion management.
• sbin'**/exa -> exa' — creates a shim named exa pointing to the binary anywhere in the archive tree (requires zinit-annex-bin-gem-node).

The annex zdharma-continuum/zinit-annex-bin-gem-node must be loaded before this recipe.
