    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.

      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.

        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 👀
