I wish I could use fish, but I can't leave the fancy auto complete of kubectl and git
Fish does git autocomplete out of the box, and there's a Fisher plugin for kubectl autocomplete. Works great.

#132Not for me, it breaks the .sh scripts and have to be rewritten.

What? No it doesn't. Shebang exists for a reason, and you should ALWAYS use it anyway, fish or not.
Re: The fish shell is amazing
#133Is there anyone who can provide a simple summary for bash v zsh vs fish? Maybe I’m lazy but I’ve just stuck with bash for.. well since ever. Maybe it’s time to try something new but then if it ain’t broke… anyway would be interested in what things it does that I never knew I needed or things which just make life simpler/easier.
Autocomplete is much better. For example, just typing "y" displays "arn start" in gray _after_ my cursor. I can then refine my command, or use right-arrow to accept the suggestion. And this is just one example; fish is full of small usability touches like that. If you need to run a bash script, `bash the_script.sh` still works
Of course you could always just do ctrl+r and cycle through and refine suggestions in bash

#134> when you type something invalid it’s red, blue when not
Does anyone know how to do something like this with Bash?

#135Earlier quoted context omitted.
Interestingly I moved from such a zsh setup to fish a couple of years back. Zsh with add-ons was noticeably slow compared to fish and syncing the config to all the devices I used.
ZSH plus oh-my-zsh cd’ing into a git repo with large LFS files will hang your shell even on very fast NVME storage.
That’s the git plugin doing it’s thing. You can fix it in config but I admit is an annoying default.

You can get reasonable version control integration from zsh without any kind of wild oh-my-zsh config. Most distributed versions of zsh are compiled with vcs_info enabled.
autoload -Uz vcs_info
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable git hg
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' check-for-changes true
zstyle ':vcs_info:git*' formats "%{$fg[cyan]%}(%{$fg[green]%}%s %{$fg[blue]%}%r%{$fg[cyan]%}:%{$fg[green]%}%b%{$fg[yellow]%}%m%u%c%{$fg[cyan]%})%{$reset_color%} "
setopt prompt_subst
export PROMPT="%{$fg_bold[red]%}%n%{$reset_color$fg[white]%}@%{$fg_bold[green]%}%m%{$reset_color$fg[white]%}:%{$fg[cyan]%}%1~ \${vcs_info_msg_0_}%{$fg_bold[white]%}%(#.#.\$) %{$reset_color%}"Re: The fish shell is amazing
#137It is typical HN that everyone is talking about Zsh and how it isn't so bad. And you know what, I used it for a while long time ago, and it is great. I even had config I could transport to another machine when I need. All that can't be compared with fish out of the box, which is why I am using fish, it will be 10 or so years now. When I say use, I mean that, I just use it, I don't spend time learning it's obscure fea…
where does one put an alias ? i have a collection of them in my .zshrc that i would love to use.
they're just functions so they end up in files in ~/.config/fish/functions/
$ alias foo bar
$ function foo --wraps bar --description 'alias foo=bar'
bar $argv
end
$ funcsave foo
there's also abbreviations like
$ abbr --add ll ls -lh

#139Is no one going to comment on for *.pdf assumes no spaces in filenames for the BASH example to be correct, what about Fish?

I do not know about fish, but it behaves correctly in zsh.
