• Advice to be more efficient with the terminal?

  Fish Shell integrates the history search functionality of ctrl-R as just the default up-arrow behavior. - Source: Reddit / 30 days ago

• How do you manage your git commits?

  As for the terminal itself honestly it just comes with time. Really go trough some effort to make your terminal your own; find what shell emulators you like I use one called alacrity myself. Take the time to customize it to your liking. For me, thats adding tools like cgywin to my windows; or swapping shells on linux entirely to something like fish. Customizing the look with tools like starship. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Long time iOS user, first time trying a Mac! Any tips and tricks/must know about?

  Nothing against the default shell (zsh), but when I started using it I immediately noticed the lack of syntax highlighting. My brother recommended using fish, and I haven’t looked back. It’s very pretty and functional :). - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Pair programming with ChatGPT - an unexpected path

  My OS is Linux Ubuntu. My shell is fish and I love it (check out my dotfiles). It allows the creation of functions (a.k.a. aliases) very easily. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Fish 3.6.0

  Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but the actual project page is very useful: https://fishshell.com/ The OP is the equivalent of a changelog, which isn’t going to be terribly helpful to the uninitiated. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• -🎄- 2022 Day 21 Solutions -🎄-

  For part one, I noticed the input being almost valid Elm code, so I wrote a few lines of Fish to generate an Elm program. Then ran it with elm repl. Elm allows out of order variable declarations so it did all the work for me. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)

  The fish shell (https://fishshell.com/) and its fantastic auto-completion. It now replaces bash as the default shell on all my machine and is the first program I install when connecting to a fresh cloud instance. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

  Turned the input into JavaScript (using Fish) by replacing noop with cycle() and addx with cycle(); cycle(); x+=, and then executing it. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

  Translating and expand my fish shell script into either Python, Haskell or both. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• ZSH autocompletion or autosuggestion? And what's syntax highlighting?

  You can also try fish, which does all of that out of the box. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What shell are you using, if not *sh?

  I swear by zsh and bash, but fish shell may be your thing: https://fishshell.com/ There's also PowerShell for all the OSes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell?view=powershell-7.2. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Fedora is awerome! Been already 1 year using fedora for develoment and I love it everyday.

  As an alternative to oh-my-zsh and powerlevel10k, I prefer Fish, Starship, and the Pastel Powerline preset to get a similar set up. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Apps that should be paid, but are not (Part 2)

  You can try out the fish shell. It parses your installed man pages for command autosuggestions. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• zsh

  Another cool history-related trick I really enjoy is history-based autosuggestions. First introduced by the fish shell, this feature dynamically autocompletes your current shell command with the most recent command that you typed that shares a common prefix with it. It can be enabled in zsh and it is a great quality of life trick for your shell. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• What's your preferred shell & why?

  I used to use Zsh, but I accidentally did `rm -rf ~/` and didn't have a proper backup. So, now I've been using FishShell for a couple of months, it has a fantastic out of the box experience. And for non-interactive usage, I use a POSIX-Compliant shell (dash). Zsh is really good too, but you have to configure it. I always use FishShell on root as I can't be bothered to configure root environment to great extent... - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• How good is c/shell?

  I'd advise you to try zsh or ksh. If you don't care about POSIX compatibility then I recommend fish. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
