Zsh & fish: better *bash* for hackers
4 likes2,303 views
Zsh and fish are better alternatives to the default bash shell. Zsh features include shared history between shells, autocorrection, powerful autocompletion for many commands out of the box and with plugins, autoexpand to avoid typing too much, and arrow key history search with minimal configuration. Fish shell stands out for its autosuggestions as you type and smart tab suggestions that parse man pages to provide command syntax help. Both shells can be enhanced with additional frameworks like oh my zsh which provides themes, plugins, and functions.
