Even as a fish user myself, I am still getting annoyed with these release log dumps without any description.
fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for macOS, Linux, and the rest of the family. fish includes features like syntax highlighting, autosuggest-as-you-type, and fancy tab completions that just work, with no configuration required.
Oh damn "tab completions that just work" is so damn accurate
I have a hard time without fish
Its really the best shell out there. And tomorrow I will eat shellfish :D
I'm more interested in what the Oil shell has been doing, it has a higher potential roof while keeping backwards compatibility rather than the current standard of affairs 10ish year development cycle of a new shell with slight improvements.
Switching shells can be a massive pain in the ass, so if we're making a change, it has to be worth it.
Oil looks like it could be worth it and then some.
Fish was worth it because it works in a way that suits me, and I could tell just by reading its excellent manual.
If you look at Oil and it looks like it suits you, I'm sure it'll suit you. 👍
For my taste, Oil seems too similar to bash at first glance, and the fact that it has a dedicated "Quirks" section in the docs is a major red flag for me. Personally.
it's the fish shell dang it >:(((( /j
