Scripts will still work as long as they have the standard #!/bin/bash at the top.
Aliases - in .bashrc - unfortunately will need to be replaced by Fish functions; defined in the "~/.config/fish/config.fish" file by default.
The only real thing that keeps tripping me up with Fish is that it doesn't support shortcuts like "!$ ". I keep on typing that in, but due to the nature of Fish, it can't (or won't) recognise it. But the excellent history functionality does make up for this a fair bit.
Having said that, Fish is by far the best shell I've tried. I gave zsh a go for about half a year and got fed up with the autocompletion and general slowness. As a shell, Fish just behaves quickly and fairly naturally, with few exceptions (!$ ...).
I highly recommend it as an improvement over bash.

I was interested in this comment so I looked into the documentation to find out why this is. Here's a link to the FAQ for anyone else interested: http://ridiculousfish.com/shell/user_doc/html/faq.html#faq-history http://ridiculousfish.com/shell/user_doc/html/faq.html#faq-h... (last question)
- nemo1618 14y agothat works just as well I guess. But what if I want to make an alias for "sudo the last command"?

- pooriaazimi 14y agoWonderful! I made a slight variation (and also posted it there): function .runsudo --description 'Run current command line as root' set cursor_pos (echo (commandline -C) + 5 | bc) commandline -C 0 commandline -i 'sudo ' commandline -C "$cursor_pos" end bind \es ".runsudo" Instead of outright `execute`ing the command, the above would save the cursor position. You can (theoretically) bind `\cs` so control-s adds the sudo (instead of option-s), but I couldn't get it to work.

- GhotiFish 14y agoI'm a little sore that the FAQ Listed that as an alternative. That was how I did it in bash before I realized I could do "sudo !!" which was waaaaay more convenient. It's a step backwards. Which I'm fine with, as long as you step forward again, in some way.
