fisher VS nerd-fonts

You've got to install Fisher, then get z, sponge and a few others from the awsm.fish list.

Then you get trapped by the utility and struggle when you land on some remote server's bash shell.

If you're running a script, you can use edc/bass to run it from a fish shell. Fisher is one of the first things I install after fish, then bass, z and a few other helper plugins.

As a minimalist plugin manager for Fish, I recommend fisher. I've created a plugin that can be installed via fisher and integrated into any Fish environment. If there are any reasons why you don't want to use Fisher, you can just copy-paste conf.d/autoenv.fish file to your ~/.config/fish/conf.d directory.

Fish is a acronyn for friendly interactive shell. It is a smart and user friendly shell for Unix-like operating systems like Linux. There are a lot of features that make it stand out from other shells like bash. It has a lot of features like autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, tab completions and a lot more. You can read more about it in the documentation. I have been using it for a while now and I it configured to my liking. In terms of plugins I use fisher to manage my plugins. I have a couple of plugins that I use on a daily basis. I have listed them below:

stay away from Oh-My-Fish - you probably don’t need it - Fish is pretty awesome out of the box, and if you do want a plugin or two Fisher is a much better route.

Agreed. I personally like Fisher (https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fisher) with this theme based on Powerlevel10k (https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide)

Fisher is a simple and convenient plugin manager for Fish. With a single command, you can install new plugins, update them, or remove them, without ever having to change any file. Convenient! Therefore, I recommend to install it to simplify your plugin management.

You can install it quickly using fisher:

Fonts play a significant role in development and usage scenarios, such as in editors like VIM, where we use font enhancements like nerd-fonts for improved display, including icons, and more.

Use any nerd fonts

Hot off the press: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/tag/v3.1.0

It's a bit expensive, and I can understand if someone can't or doesn't want to spend money on it. I would recommend to check out the free fonts 'JetBains Mono' & 'Hack' to these people.

Some people have already mentioned here that Berkeley Mono is not available as Nerd Font. I would like to briefly point out that Nerd Fonts provides a font patcher tool (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#font-patcher).

I'm using Neovim v0.9.1 on Ubuntu 23.04 with NvChad. I've also installed the JetBrainsMono font, as NvChad requires a Nerd Font, but nothing besides that and I haven't edited any settings or nvim files and I haven't installed any additional plugins.

There are a lot of code fonts on HN today. Rather than make a new post I will talk about some of my favorite that are a little less common. None of these are free I don't think.

Cartograph CF - The one I've been using for code for years. Very readable, almost "comic mono"-like choices of some of the lower case glyphs but in a good way. All the character is in the italic which you will either love or hate.

Quadraat sans mono - The entire quadraat family is a collection of masterpieces imo, but are generally too distinctive to be appropriate for most public-facing work. But it's your computer so who cares. I use the mono sans one for my terminal. The lowercase f seems so out of place there but you learn to love it.

Alegreya sans - Not a mono font, but it almost is so if you've ever flirted with proportional fonts for code this is a fun one to try. There is a lot of careful line width variation that gives a lot of the appearance and readability advantages of serifs but keeps most of the visual coherence of sans.

I like all of these because they look feel more like normal fonts rather than code fonts. They have careful variation that adds character and improves readability for me. I've switched to an almost-no-color code theme that uses font weight instead, and the details like this become more important that way.

And then only kind of related but if you want to use unusual fonts in your terminal but you have a complex prompt setup, install font forge and learn to use something like https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/font-pat... to patch in the extra characters. This can also solve your "I love this font but want a dotted zero" type problems as well. Small skill investment for a small return over a long period of time. You'll always be using fonts.

It is FiraCode Nerd Font Mono:size=16. You can find it here. On arch linux you can just install the nerd-fonts and it's included there.
