Wow. O_o I'm sure someone can write a

man

plugin for zsh, but that's very impressive. It's a shame it doesn't have git integration, or I'd be sold.

I'm sorry, why again do I want my shell running a web server?

To configure and customize your shell, following which the web server is killed again?

I read an article evangelizing Fish shortly after I wrote the ZSH article, but it didn't sell me. The only big thing fish really had over zsh was syntax highlighting, and it took me just a few seconds to add that functionality to zsh itself with this plugin. Most of the other big fish features are either things that can be added to zsh with a few keypresses, things that are already in zsh, or things you don't generally want in a shell (like the minor differences from the bash syntax, which bone up all my little script snippets). Maybe it'll change my mind later on

Because you want more overhead! Yeah that's a bit over the top. Still though ZSH is more popular, thus more plugins and more development. Generally you have to wait until a technology has gotten so old it has too much technical dept to out do it (RO).

It looks really cool, unlike zsh which is basically the same as the normal bash. But I can only set it for root as the default shell as I need ypchsh to change it and that doesn't work...

[NeilHanlon]

$ chsh
Password:
Changing the login shell for neil
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
        Login Shell[/bin/zsh]:

That not working, Sam?

Y'know, Bash isn't so bad if you put some effort in. I'd be nothing without my nice context aware prompt and a few handy aliases

It works for my root user, but for the normal user:

> ypchsh
Changing NIS account information for user on server.
Please enter password:
Changing login shell for user on server.
To accept the default, simply press return. To use the
system's default shell, type the word "none".
Login shell [/bin/bash]: /usr/local/bin/fish
Error while changing the login shell.
The login shell has not been changed on server.

You could execute fish in your .bashrc ;-)

That actually works didn't think of that somehow. Now I just need to change that ~ into the real path which I prefer get rid of the shortening of foldernames in the path and get rid of the welcome message

Looks pretty neat but the web interface isn't really something exciting in my opinion.

They should've called it shellfish
