While I do like fish syntax, you don’t really need to learn it. You can just use it for your interactive use in the terminal while writing your scripts in bash.
This is the way. I’ve never even attempted to script anything in fish, but it’s just a great interactive shell OOTB. I think at most I have a colorscheme and an alias or 2.
I tried using zsh again after having used fish for a while, but I just couldn’t do it. Trying to configure the ergonomics that fish ships OOTB into zsh was a pain, and I couldn’t get it to a satisfactory level.
Regarding scripts, you don’t have to use the fish scripting language. Just keep writing your scripts in Bash, and as long as you use a shebang, it’ll work fine in fish.

fish, but it’s just a great interactive shell OOTB. I think at most I have a colorscheme and an alias or 2.this is basically what I did until I dropped fish for zsh because of annoyances with how it functioned.
Scripting in fish is obnoxious though if you learned bash first, heavily recommend staying far away 😂
Hard recommend staying in bash or at least zsh, at least you maintain compatibility with others if you ever decided to share your scripts.

Yeah, that was what I was saying it wasn’t super clear. I was saying, just keep your scripts in Bash because it has better compatibility 👀
Yeah that’s what I do to, I don’t need to write complex scripts anyway. Fish’s syntax seems interesting though.
