I used to do that very custom setup for a few years... Lately I've settled for https://starship.rs/ https://starship.rs/ doesn't matter the shell the experience is the same. I find it difficult sometimes to use loops or variable creation on fish, so jumping to bash real quick without changing experience is so convenient... Another thing I don't like is that if I create a one liner at work to process batches of files/hosts in fish, then I must translate that to bash in wikis, otherwise people would be forced to use fish to replicate...
- cglong 3y agoI use Starship for the same reason. It's great getting the same UX in Fish on macOS and PowerShell on Windows.
- em-bee 3y agostarship looks cool, but the syntax of the shells is still different. so how can the user experience be the same? for me syntax, search and autosuggestions are the key features of fish which no other shell has and starship doesn't seem provide those.
- bdhcuidbebe 3y agostarship is a prompt, not a shell. for consistent shell across os i recommend zsh (mingw on windows), or nushell or fish.
- em-bee 3y agoyes, i got that. my thought was that UX is more than just the prompt. although it is nice to have a consistent prompt over different systems
- croooooo 3y agoI’ve recently discovered ChatGPT is pretty good at translating Bash -> Fish. Can be a time saver.
