So I’ve been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I’m fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I’ve used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I’d love to hear people’s opinions.
Zsh is just bash with plugins and stuff, so regular bash scripts work. fish, as I understand, uses its own language.
If you have
#!/bin/bashon top of your scripts, they will use bash.Bash code is not safe to run as if it were Zsh, and Zsh has language features Bash doesn’t. They are different languages.
That’s right. zsh is POSIX compliant while fish is not. That’s the reason I switched to zsh from fish.
