    Fish-like autosuggestions for zsh

  • Zsh with zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting make it the best shell. Fish offers these features built-in without plugins but it isn't posix compliant. Plus zsh is extremely customizable to your heart's content.

    Next Generation Shell (NGS)

  • Wherever I can choose and it's scripting (as opposed to interactive) and it makes sense considering other team members, it's my own Next Generation Shell. Otherwise bash. Experimenting with zsh a bit.

  • ksh

    ksh 93u+m: KornShell lives! | Latest release: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/releases

  • Actually, it's been forked and development is ongoing.
