    fish

    fish

    The user-friendly command line shell

    Finally, a command line shell for the 90s. fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for Linux, macOS, and the rest of the family. fish suggests commands as you type based on history and completions, just like a web browser. Watch out, Netscape Navigator 4.0! fish supports 24 bit true color, the state of the art in terminal technology. Behold the monospaced rainbow. fish is fully scriptable, and its syntax is simple, clean, and consistent. You'll never write esac again. For those lucky few with a graphical computer, you can set your colors and view functions, variables, and history all from a web page. Other shells support programmable completions, but only fish generates them automatically by parsing your installed man pages. fish will delight you with features like tab completions and syntax highlighting that just work, with nothing new to learn or configure.
