If you like exa, maybe you like my modifications about hiding the time output optionally when using '--long', too.

https://github.com/thibran/exa/tree/time_style_hide

Example output of 'exa -l --time-style=hide':

    drwxr-xr-x - foo Desktop
    drwxr-xr-x - foo Documents
    drwxr-xr-x - foo Downloads
    drwxr-xr-x - foo Music
    drwxr-xr-x - foo Pictures
    drwxr-xr-x - foo src
    drwxr-xr-x - foo Videos

For just listing without additional info, I'm good with just the file tree. With '-l' it can show bunch of stuff.

  $ l (exa --tree --level 1)

  $ l2  (exa --tree --level 2)

How did you get the folder/file icons in there?

There's exa fork that allows --icons option but you need to patch your font to display them as they're text. (Search for nerdfont. Some are pre-patched.)

Thanks!
