• fish-shell

  320 24,551 9.9 Rust

  The user-friendly command line shell.

  

And this discussion from November has an update on the progress: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/discussions/10123

• nushell

  212 29,963 9.9 Rust

  A new type of shell

  

Any thoughts on fish as compared to nushell [0]? It's similar to PowerShell in its philosophy and is also written in Rust.

  :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues

• dotfiles

  1 6 6.0 Shell

  Personal dotfiles Mac OS developer setup (by andyatkinson)

I was able to adopt fish shell and get many features from bash that were provided from plugins. I prefer the more “stock” shell configuration for easier maintenance across computers and over time, and a less complex dotfiles project. https://github.com/andyatkinson/dotfiles

On a team I limit my fish shell use to my own machine though, and would use bash for scripts to share with a shebang line. I also switch to a bash shell when needed.

• zsh-autosuggestions

  134 29,589 3.0 Shell

  Fish-like autosuggestions for zsh

  

The big thing for me was the intuitive auto-completion which I hadn't seen anywhere else at the time, but this is now also available in zsh via this plugin:

  Luke's .config (by LukeChannings)

I've used Fish for a while ([my dotfiles tell me I've been using it for 8 years now... how the time flies!](https://github.com/LukeChannings/dotfiles/blob/148a5021da464...)) and decided to give Nu a try.

The main problem with Nu is that it can't really be used as a full-time shell because it doesn't support job control, so a lot of nodejs-based CLIs I need for my job seem to lock up the shell. I got around it by using pueue (a daemon that manages processes), but it's clunky to say the least.

I do think it'll get better as it matures, but I've been through all that pain with Fish and I'm not sure I want to put myself through that again.
