FISH Features

Autosuggestions

fish suggests commands as you type based on history and completions, just like a web browser. Watch out, Netscape Navigator 4.0!

Glorious VGA Color

fish natively supports term256, the state of the art in terminal technology. You'll have an astonishing 256 colors available for use!

Sane Scripting

fish is fully scriptable, and its syntax is simple, clean, and consistent. You'll never write esac again.

Web Based configuration

For those lucky few with a graphical computer, you can set your colors and view functions, variables, and history all from a web page.

Man Page Completions

Other shells support programmable completions, but only fish generates them automatically by parsing your installed man pages.

fish will delight you with features like tab completions and syntax highlighting that just work, with nothing new to learn or configure.
