Lead dev here. Reading the comments is thrilling and makes me even more excited for the official fish 2.0 release, which will be in a few weeks. For me, the as-you-type suggestions and syntax highlighting make fish feel active and responsive, providing instant feedback. I've also had a great response from casual command line users, who love that features like git tab completions just work, with nothing to configure. It's going to be a fantastic option for command line users. Meanwhile the action is on the github page at http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/ http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/

Man, I've been using fish as my primary shell for years now, and I just love it. I'm terribly excited about this release. Are there going to be debs for x86/amd64, or maybe even a ppa?

  fish 2 pacakges (including debs) are already available: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/siteshwar/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/siteshwar/ but I would prefer to have an APT conf line too :-)

    Fantastic, thank you. Are these legit/official?

      The repository is linked in the official readme https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/master/README.... , so I guess they are

        Oh, great, I'll install now then. Thank you.

    APT conf line has following format : deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/siteshwar/Ubuntu_[version] http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/siteshwar/Ub... ./ So for e.g. if you're on Ubuntu 12.10 use : deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/siteshwar/Ubuntu_12.10 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/siteshwar/Ub... ./

As a zsh user, fish looks fantastic thanks to its lightness, responsiveness and default settings. I'm only slightly unhappy about fish requiring python (actually python2 in Arch Linux). AFAIK, this is needed for the web server configuration interface. It'd be much better if fish could be built with this as an addon or optional dependency.

Checked out, compiled and installed in minutes, looks fantastic. I really love the completions based on manpages, which I've already found useful for a tar command (insert relevant xkcd here). Once I get my shells .rc file converted (I think it's just a few variables & calls to other scripts I'm missing) I'll switch over completely. Looking forward to the future releases, but looking brilliant so far :)
