fishshell on macOS

fishshell

  • Fish is a very easy to use alternative to bash
  • If you did not know fishshell already, you can try it in your Browser
  • The recommended way to install fish on macOS is via Homebrew
    # Installing fish
    -$ brew install fish
    # check if "/usr/local/bin/fish" binary added to your "/etc/shells"
    -$ cat /etc/shells
    # If not
    -$ sudo vim /etc/shells
    # and append "/usr/local/bin/fish" to the file
    # Activating fish for the current user
    -$ chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
  • Exit your Terminal and start again, fish must be working now
  • Now you can play around with fishshell using the official fishshell tutorial
  • I also recommend to install fisher, which is a package manager for fish
    -$ curl https://git.io/fisher --create-dirs -sLo ~/.config/fish/functions/fisher.fish
  • Happy fishing
