What’s your favourite to use? Mine is Fish due to its ease of use and user friendly approach.

Bash is the pepperoni of shell tools being reliable in every field no matter what but I’ve moved to Fish as I wanted to try something different.

So what’s your shell of choice?

    Bash

    Not because it’s the best or even my favourite. Just because I create so many ephemeral VMs and containers that code switching isn’t worth it for me.

      Seconded. Having an awesome Fish setup doesn’t help at all when you’re constantly having to shell into other machines unless you somehow keep your dotfiles synced, and that sounds like a total hassle.

      I’d rather my muscle memory be optimized for the standard setup.

        I use Ansible playbooks to keep my config in sync. It’s great but there is a bit of a learning curve. Makes it easy to deploy config changes.
