Could be a Cygwin package/binary added?

Hi, could be a Cygwin version of the binary added to the releases page? I.e.: it should contain a new file:

  • exa-cygwin-x86_64-0.9.0.zip

? Also, a regular Cygwin package wouldn't be any harm.

Agreed - it would be really nice to run this in Cygwin!

I have no idea how Cygwin works but it doesn’t look so hard. However I don’t use Windows and I don’t have the time to setup Cygwin and see how to compile exa on it/make a Cygwin package.

I was having issues with cygwin paths while using latest cargo installed exa on windows.

I'm using this alias function (through zsh) to be able to call exa without errors :

exa() {
  local args=()
  for arg in "$@"; do
    if [ -e "$arg" ]; then
      arg="$(cygpath -w "$arg")"
    fi
    args+=$arg
  done
  command exa $args
}
