Where fish?
where nushell, xonsh, rush, yash, dash, powershell, oil, elvish?
these are really bad band names
We don’t talk about the red-headed step-child PowerShell.
Clever but really verbose incantations that no-one can remember.
Just use the List-And-Display-Available-Relevant-Commands-Formatted-As-Table commandlet. Couldn’t be easier.
I mean…
get-command *mycommand* | format-tableIsnt that hard to remember is it?
It ruins my joke about the overly verbose commands though
Even more biased towards the English-speaking set of command-line Wizards than the standard fare!
I made a quick (not an exaggeration. I was sloppy with my trimming and filling in the text) 128x128 discord emoji out of this, for those who care:
Hmm, let me try this.
Edit: Nice! For anyone else, just copy the link from the source of the comment.
I mean, you can do that with any image. Adding the exclamation point before the link tells Lemmy to embed the image instead. And anything you put in the brackets turns into alt text, which users can view by hovering over the image.
My point was mostly to be able to add it to my discord server (or anywhere that allows custom emoji’s, really.) Since they use a standardized 128x128 image size, it’s just a matter of scaling it down to that and trimming it so it’s transparent.
Well, thanks for the info and the thumbnail!
csh/tcsh (not anymore, I use zsh)
scsh (more usable scripting than interactive), with the best acknowledgments
Where is “nu” though?
Don’t forget pwsh! 🤪
Instead of putting the onus on you, I let ChatGPT do the heavy lifting… of some answers adjacent to the one I wanted. Yes I was being kinda lazy.
The only reason I can think of to use pwsh.exe is to run it in Wine
fish best shell
I’ve been eyeing Wizard with a Gun for a minute, maybe this is a sign
Hah, I remember using ksh on an old IBM AIX box.
with a dry cool wit like that, gandalf could be an action hero
Read the dresden files, that’s pretty much its main conceit
Does ash count?
Most def. So does
dash.
Outlaw Star needs to be in here somewhere…
Why do people keep creating new shells when bash is mostly okay?
Why create anything new or different?
fieh and nushell actually offer something new, and zsh is just a better bash if you want that
There’s a massive number of security holes in bash, shellshock being the most egregious. bash has some really terrible design flaws, especially parsing $var multiple times so you can’t reliably break on spaces. Almost any other shell is safer and more productive.
