Fish is very simple and nicely interative shell. I’ve been using it for the past 6 months and it has replaced ZSH totally. Here are some of the nicest features i found.
Auto complete for everithing: You can just tab in your terminal and it will bring to you sugestions.
Man integration: It shows all options that are documented on man (help) about the command.
Lots of plugins: I installed oh-my-fish and kubernetes plugins. There are a plenty of them. (including nice themes)
Web interface: You can run the
fish_configcommand and it opens a really cool web interface.Works out of the box: You don’t need to edit any file, just install and replace your old terminal and use it.
Installation
Arch based distros:
sudo pacman -S fish
chsh -s /usr/bin/fish
