    But… they literally used that post to tell people they play both the violin and the viola…

    People with deep knowledge of string instruments and/or shell languages are rapidly approaching your location.

    Dude, people still think vi is important skills. I know ‘ed’, so the rest is just a waste.

    For that matter, just use cat, and be free of vietnam-era cult shit.

      i need to get familiar with fish. i’ve studied the syntax but i still have hardly used it, and if you really want to learn how to code something, you gotta keep typing it until it’s in your muscle memory.

        While I do like fish syntax, you don’t really need to learn it. You can just use it for your interactive use in the terminal while writing your scripts in bash.

          This is the way. I’ve never even attempted to script anything in fish, but it’s just a great interactive shell OOTB. I think at most I have a colorscheme and an alias or 2.

          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.

          Yeah that’s what I do to, I don’t need to write complex scripts anyway. Fish’s syntax seems interesting though.

      i’m all about oh-my-zsh. I mostly like it because it loads a random theme every time you run source ~/.zshrc, so you get exposed to a lot of different themes, so you can pick one that looks really nice. The one I’ve gone with was the most minimalist theme I could find. export ZSH_THEME="miloshadzic"

        OMZ is overrated. It’s too much code for too little effect when most of the plugins boil down to aliases and prompt themes, and all you have to do is source them in your .zshrc anyway.

        I am by no means saying that the plugins and themes are useless. I’m saying that OMZ is unnecessary.

        Meh, I find OMZ a bit too opinionated.

        antidote with the right plugins + starship with the right prompt builder beats anything.

            I tried to learn it, but failed. Looks like I’d love to use both, but I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?

              It might be easiest to work backwards with starship, see how it integrates with fish then see how to run fish.

              Then install fish, add starship to it.

              99% of my usage is around how it helps me navigate the terminal, I use bash for all my scripts lmao
