Currently exa does not allow usage of --group option without -l / --long option which is wrong because if You want to have smilar to GNU ls approach that long listing always displays displays groups, then You would wand to set alias exa='exa --group' so that with short listing 'exa' would have default output and with 'exa -l' you would have long listing with groups. Currently that is not possible and everytime I want to have long listing with groups (default in GNU ls) I have to add -g flag which is PITA. Now you have to type exa or exa -lg instead of exa and exa -l.

% exa
Option --group is useless without option --long.

Hey, this issue is being tracked in #152. Good news, though: I've done some work to make exa's options parser more lenient, and I want to finish it before the next release. So doing exa --group and exa will do the same thing, and exa --group --long will display a long listing with the group column.
