This also remembers the last time you typed in a command, so when I am sshing into a server, it makes it so much easier! + +<center> +<img width="840" src="/images/screenshots/fishscreen.png"> +</center> + +I also like the fact that all of the features listed above come out of the box! The only configuration I have had to do is set my aliases and make the Starship program work. I do know there are <a href="https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fisher">plugins</a> that I do need to take a look at, but for now, I do not see any need for any since I am happy with what they come with! + +*** + +## Last thoughts +Overall, I am rather impressed by fish. I will use it as my main shell for the time being, but if I do have any problems, I can just switch to Bash shell for the duration of that problem. I know there is probably a bunch I have missed out on Fish shell, but so far it has been smooth and I have nothing but good to say about it! + +Thank you for reading. + |
