exa VS fish-shell

Even though ls is a good-old standby, I prefer the aliases for ll and la that rely on exa. These aliases default to showing important information like git status and can even prevent me from needing to launch subsequent, exploratory commands.

https://github.com/ogham/exa already exists. Haven't looked too closely at feature differences though.

exa is installed and acting as replacement for good old ls ... https://the.exa.website/

I've used a program called exa. (You can get it from cargo.) To get it to replace the "ls" command, I simply created an alias to "ls" command in my .zshrc file.

This page doesn’t actually list any features or explain why you should use exa instead of ls. The homepage [0] is more useful in this regard.

Tools that make my life easier would be fzf, fd, exa, micro, ripgrep, bat etc.

I recently came across exa and only a few months prior learnt about micro (and have switched from nano).

Exa

I found a directory that seems to control output for exa, but I didn't dig too much further than that: https://github.com/ogham/exa/tree/master/src/output

I love using https://github.com/ogham/exa

Hello! Can somebody suggest me the best way to list all possible Matlab program entry points? I am writing miss_hit completions for Fish shell and I want list all entry points for --entry-point mh_style option.

The web configurator is a practical feature. I just tried it and it seems to work pretty well.

But you're in luck; looks like the next version will have everything also configurable via text: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3625

It’s not possible, see https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1786

Recently, I switched from oh-my-zsh to a fish shell, and I didn’t regret it. Fish is a nice and user-friendly command-line shell. fish supports powerful features like syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, and tab completions that work, with nothing to learn or configure. But when I tried to install nvm (Node Version Manager) I had a problem, the shell didn’t recognize the nvm command. After some investigation, I found the solution. First, you need to install a fisher. Fisher is a package manager for the fish shell. Download fisher.fish to your functions directory or any directory on your function path.

I’ve had great success with using fish-shell [0] as an introductory material. It is really beginner friendly, has a sane scripting language.

Good luck with Debian as your daily driver! Not related to your comment itself, but check out fish as an alternative to using bash as your interactive shell. It's deliberately not POSIX-compliant, which means I wouldn't use it for shell scripts you intend to share with others, but that decision means it was able to make some design changes that make it more consistent and generally a nicer interactive experience.

Hello! I am writing Mono completions for Fish now. If you have any suggestions or ideas how to make my pull request better please write here or directly on GitHub.

Hello! Is it possible to write custom hints for command parameters for example to show "PATH" string where command parameter requires some path? Please consider this issue in Fish shell repo to better understand I am talking about.
