- kristopolous 6y agoI've been thinking about a more fluid way to hybridize these different shells. I'd like a way to get all the benefits without the cost or any extra required effort for the user. Some painless master shell program. No epiphanies yet though.
- RealStickman_ 6y agoI just have both installed. Fish for interacting and bash for scripting.
- oblio 6y agoI can never understand this complaint. I'm frequently on Windows and use Cygwin. Do you know what I do? I use zsh. Let's say I need bash. "bash<Enter>". I'm in bash :-) I need cmd (yup, that can happen). "cmd<Enter>". I need to run just one command with bash: "bash command<Enter>". I need to run just one command with cmd: "cmd /c command<Enter>". These problems are trivially solvable :-)
- mattgreenrocks 6y agoSwitched to fish for daily use a year ago and have only had to fallback to bash maybe 3-4 times for a gnarly command invocation that was bash only.
