I think the word “replaces” is a bit too strong and click baity if this is all exa has to offer. You can just
alias ls='ls -lha --color=always'

exa’s git support didn’t seem to me to be all that useful. tree is kinda nice but would only use it with dirs not too nested.

Could just clone those features and put them back in OG ls command...
