I believe fish shell doesn’t get enough attention. I’m really suggest you to try it out.
It can replace oh-my-zsh without or almost without plugins, while providing even better user experience.

#shell #fish #fishshell #zsh #bash

Redirecting...

Today, unlike many days before, I woke up to seeing a project I use and like very much on the path towards taking a stand against LLMs.

Today is off to a good start, thank you #fishShell.

All these quality of life improvements in #ghostty. 😍 Congrats to the whole team for 1.3.

The native notification on command finish! I've had a #fishshell plugin for I don't know how many years for this... I'm going to need to test this magic. 😎

System76 Preparing To Introduce Redesigned Thelio Hardware

Linux hardware vendor System76 has begun teasing a redesign of their Thelio chassis that is used by their modern desktops and workstations

hey @bean, i decided to actually try out #fishshell, and it's pretty neat imo, thanks

@sudorandom the only disadvantages I can say about #fish #shell are:

  • it's not that standard shell on #Linux (#bash is!)
  • it's quite THICC at ~ 2,5 MB
  • It obviously (and necessarily) breaks compatibility to any other shell...

Still, I do intent to package it someday for @OS1337 simply because for a "fully-fledged, everyday" #toybox + #musl / #linux distro that wants to maximize #MDA @ 80x25 I'll propably need more functionality than I can reasonably expect @landley to include into toybox's own shell, which AFAIK doesn't support .bash_aliases or other alias / function declarations per config file *as of the time of writing this...

  • But then again that's me being nitpicky and different scopes of interest...
