IDE file trees these days often show git status. Why not terminal file lists?

The problem with “don’t do that” is you can’t add it on after the fact using another tool, like you can with e.g. sorting. You have to run a separate command and correlate the output yourself.

Personally I don’t rely on exa’s git support (I never even remember it’s there) but it seems potentially valuable, and now that you’ve reminded me about it I plan on looking into how to integrate it into my workflow.
