3. nushell

   2 228 34,402 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.

4. fzf

   3 425 68,740 9.8 Go

   :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

6. dotfiles

   5 1 7 4.7 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.

7. zsh-autosuggestions

   6 144 32,483 4.4 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:

8. dotfiles

   7 1 38 9.0 Nix

   Luke's dotfiles (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.
