About

fish is an open-source command line shell for Linux, macOS, BSD, and Windows that emphasizes user-friendliness and smart features out of the box. It offers autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, and tab completions without requiring complex configuration. The project is actively developed and distributed as pre-built installers or source code via GitHub.

Problem

Traditional shells like bash require extensive configuration to become user-friendly and lack modern features like autosuggestions by default

For

developers and power users who work frequently in the terminal

How it works

fish is installed as a standalone shell binary that replaces or supplements the system shell, providing intelligent completions, syntax highlighting, and scripting capabilities out of the box
