I’m looking for inspiration for a custom Bash prompt[1]. I’d love to see yours! 😊 If possible, include both the prompt’s PS1, and a screenshot/example of what it looks like.

      Fish is a really great shell for daily use. There’s so much built in, its scripting language is better (not portable though if someone else does not have fish).

        By now, enough people have fish that you can basically assume those scripts being “portable”. Far better than nushell or xonsh - which are both pretty advanced shells but other tools lack support for them, e.g. Midnight Commander.

      I recently started with fish and dislike that I can’t drop bash commands into it because it parses differently. That is enough to annoy me to uninstall.

        You shouldn’t just “drop bash commands into it” anyways. And if you really need it, bash is only one bash away.
