+## What it is
+
+eza lists files, like `ls`, with clearer output: file types in color, human-readable sizes, icons, Git status for each file, and a built-in tree view. It's the maintained community fork of the earlier `exa` project.
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Easier to read.** Colors and icons make file types stand out.
+- **Git-aware.** Long listings can show which files are modified or new.
+- **Trees built in.** No separate tool needed to see a directory's structure.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+eza is installed from pacman, and CoreDesktop's shell setup makes it the default for listing files. All of these list directories first and show icons where the terminal supports them:
+
+```
+ls    # eza
+ll    # long listing with sizes
+la    # long listing including hidden files
+lt    # two-level tree with Git status
+```
+
+Type `command ls` if you need the original. `update` keeps eza current with the pacman packages.
