  2. Starship is the minimal, blazing fast, and extremely customizable prompt for any shell! Shows the information you need, while staying sleek and minimal. Quick installation available for Bash, Fish, ZSH, Ion, and Powershell.

    I tried bash first, with every bell and whistle added. I tried all the scripts and tuned my .bashrc and .bash_profile and PS1 and all the crap. It was a huge chore. Then I tried switching to zsh with oh-my-zsh and all that. 42 million tunable bits and I still didn't get it to my liking. Then I found Fish and 95% of the stuff was good enough out of the box. The only things I've really added was Starship[0] as a prompt - again good enough with pretty much zero configuration and fzf[1] for history search. Now I use it everywhere, synced via Homeshick[2] [0] https://starship.rs.

  3. A modern shell written in Rust
    I've been using fish for 2 years now and I pretty much live in the terminal. I would feel handicapped without it. Just use fish and use shebangs `#!/bin/sh` (which should be in your scripts anyways) and you can keep writing/running POSIX scripts all day. I think it's the best option until nushell[0] is ready. As an added bonus now that you don't use bash interactively you can substitute dash[1] and increase the speed of most POSIX scripts, win-win. I'd also recommend zoxide[2], I feel like it's one more must have no matter what you do in the shell. [0]: https://github.com/nushell/nushell.
