Go fish! (developerWorks)

Go fish! (developerWorks)
[Press] Posted Dec 3, 2008 18:51 UTC (Wed) by corbet

developerWorks examines the fish shell. "Thankfully, fish--the Friendly Interactive Shell--swims upstream against the tide of obfuscation, providing streamlined syntax and a much-improved user experience. Like other shells, fish provides redirection, shortcuts, globbing (that is, expansion of wildcards), subshells, tab completion, and variables. Unlike alternatives, however, fish also provides color-coded CLIs, an extensive command-line editor, and rich documentation."
