I think I'll switch to fish
Published on 10 Apr 2020
I watched this video on Distrotube and decided to give fish shell a whirl.
Two extra things to install that really make fish shine:
- oh-my-fish, a grab-bag of themes and customisations.
- autojump.fish, which adds Autojump to fish. I think you have to install autojump first.
A couple things I like:
- git branch in the prompt
- syntax highlighting
- intelligent tab completion
I’ll have to get used to the fish way of shell scripting, e.g. I can’t chain commands with &&
, but it looks pretty cool.
