I tried to convince a few people at work to use fish instead of bash. I cannot begin to describe how much of a better shell fish is over older shells.
Unfortunately, was not successful in getting them to try it, even for a minute.
If you'd like to try:
sudo apt-get install fish
fishSend me a message or post a reply if you do try it. To keep fish as your default shell, run this command:
chsh --shell $(which fish)

@davidmaddock It helps predict things as you type, based on previous commands you ran.
It is smarter about case-sensitive names than bash when you use tab completion.
It parses the man pages so it knows about parameters to all sorts of commands. Then it can help auto-complete them as you type commands.

@charette @davidmaddock@aus.social and asks you if the command you mistyped should be corrected with right one. Almost died laughing the first time I crossed it. -

@charette Too used to zsh. My .zshrc, which I’ve been lugging around from system to system, still has lines from 1996...

@bobdobberson @burbilog I don't want to have to try and _convince_ anyone to try it. On pretty much all distros, it is extremely easy to install.
I also was a csh, zsh, and bash user for over 30 years before I tried fish. My guess is I've been using fish for at least a decade now, and I would never go back.
