Add --no-git option #1239

Closed Aehmlo closed 1 year ago

Aehmlo commented 1 year ago
Some unnecessary exposition about my use case While updating my `home-manager` configuration recently, I discovered that `exa` now has a program module available, with the option `programs.exa.git` to [alias `exa` to `exa --git`](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/bdb5bcad01ff7332fdcf4b128211e81905113f84/modules/programs/exa.nix#L45). I happily enabled this option but quickly found myself in situations where I didn't want the git status to shown. While I could use something like `$(which exa) -l`, I far prefer the ergonomics of a `--no-git` option (and it plays more nicely with other tools to boot).

This PR adds the --no-git option. This option overrides --git in all cases and disables showing the Git status of files in long view (-l). This enables users of shell aliases and the like to turn off git status display in an ad hoc manner

Somewhat tangentially related: #1044.

(This is my first contribution to this codebase; I've done my best to make all the appropriate changes, but I'd appreciate any pointers if there's something I've missed. I took inspiration from the --no-icons option as prior art.)

Hey, fyi, exa is super dead, but if you'd like to, consider submitting this pr to eza.

@cafkafk Thanks for the head-up. I just created eza-community/eza#168.

Closing this since exa is unmaintained (see https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/1243), and this PR has been merged in the active fork eza.
