<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p><a href="https://fishshell.com">Fish shell</a> is a command-line shell mostly written in the Rust programming language for Unix-related systems that aims to be user-friendly. The reason I have chosen to try fishing is because I like some of the features it comes with!</p>
<h2>Features of Fish 🐟</h2>
<p>Fish aims to be a smart, user-friendly command line shell</p>
<ul>
<li>Tab completion</li>
<li>Themes</li>
<li>Syntax highlighting</li>
<li>Web Based Configuration</li>
</ul>

<h2>What I like about Fish!</h2>
<p>My favourite feature of the fish shell is that it has built-in tab completion, meaning it gives you options for the command you are inputting into the terminal. 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!</p>

<p>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!</p>
<hr>
<h2>Last thoughts</h2>
<p>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!</p>
<p>Thank you for reading.</p>
