Powerline Go
A beautiful and useful low-latency prompt for your shell
A Powerline-like prompt for Bash, ZSH, and Fish. All of the version control systems supported by powerline shell give you a quick look into the state of your repo. The current branch is displayed and changes background color when the branch is dirty. When the local branch differs from the remote, the difference in number of commits is shown along with ⇡ or ⇣ indicating whether a git push or pull is pending. powerline-go uses ANSI color codes, these should nowadays work everywhere, but you may have to set your $TERM to xterm-256color for it to work. If you want to use the "patched" mode (which is the default and provides improved UI), you'll need to install a powerline font, either as fallback, or by patching the font you use for your terminal. Alternatively, you can use "compatible" or "flat" mode. There are a few optional arguments that can be seen by running powerline-go -help. These can be used by changing the command you have set in your shell’s init file. -

bash-completion
Programmable completion functions for bash
bash-completion is a collection of command-line command completions for the Bash shell, a collection of helper functions to assist in creating new completions, and a set of facilities for loading completions automatically on-demand, as well as installing them. The easiest way to install this software is to use a package; refer to Repology for a comprehensive list of operating system distributions, package names, and available versions. Depending on the package, you may still need to source it from either /etc/bashrc or ~/.bashrc (or any other file sourcing those). If you don't have the package readily available for your distribution, or you simply don't want to use one, you can install bash-completion using the standard commands for GNU Autotools packages. If you find that a given function is producing errors or does not work as it should under certain circumstances when you attempt completion, try running set -x or set -v prior to attempting the completion again. -

OliveTin
OliveTin gives safe and simple access to predefined shell commands
Give safe and simple access to predefined shell commands from a web interface. OliveTin just runs shell commands, so theoretically, you could integrate with a bunch of stuff just by using curl, ping, etc. However, writing your own shell scripts is a great way to extend OliveTin. Uses only a few MB of RAM and barely any CPU. Written in Go, with a web interface written as a modern, responsive, single-page app that uses the REST/gRPC API. Helps potential contributors be consistent, and helps with maintainability. Available for quickly testing and getting it up and running, great for the self-hosted community. Passes all the accessibility checks in Firefox, and issues with accessibility are taken seriously. -

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. -
