I use Fish as my shell. It's got some really nice convenience features, without needing customization, which I find useful. If I'm working in a VM or some server for a bit longer, I'll often just install the
fish
package and have my normal level of (good) usability.Downside is that Fish uses somewhat different syntax than Bash, so I can't just copy-paste more complex commands into there. But yeah, then you'll see me run
bash
, then the complex command in there, and then I'llexit
back out of there.For the shell prompt, I'm using Starship with a bit of a custom theme, based on their Gruvbox Rainbow preset:
