fish - the friendly interactive shell

fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for OS X, Linux, and the rest of the family. fish includes features like syntax highlighting, autosuggest-as-you-type, and fancy tab completions that just work, with no configuration required.

For more on fish's design philosophy, see the design document.

Quick Start

fish generally works like other shells, like bash or zsh. A few important differences are documented at http://ridiculousfish.com/shell/faq.html

Detailed user documentation is available by running help within fish, and also at http://ridiculousfish.com/shell/user_doc/html/

Building

fish can be built using autotools or Xcode.

Autotools Build

autoconf
./configure [--without-xsel]
make [gmake on BSD]
sudo make install
