Fish shell, a popular user-friendly command-line shell, has announced version 4.2, a new release that builds on the 4.0 series. Among the most visible improvements is an upgrade to history-based autosuggestions, which now properly handle multi-line commands.
Fish 4.2 also improves how prompts are managed: transient prompts that contain more lines than the final one are now cleared properly, preventing visual clutter on screen. Similarly, the shell now hides parts of a multi-line prompt that have scrolled out of view, eliminating duplicated lines after repainting.
You made a full transition? Or just when you are working with the data and configs?
it started just dropping in to mess with some data. now it’s my daily driver, and i have a trove of scripts that are my docs as code for systems like systemd or stuff that is specific to work
Do you miss fish at all?
nah nushell does all that and more. i think fish is a good alt for someone who knows enough bash to know that scripting it sucks. if you want autocomplete and plugins n stuff it’s probably the most ergonomic POSIX-like shell out there.
