Fish Shell - Install and Prompt Customization
Instead of the generic bash shell that comes with Ubuntu Linux, I installed the fish shell a while ago.
Fish is awesome because it guesses your tab completion, provides paths that you visit frequently, and is much more lightweight than bash.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fish
To make fish your default shell:
chsh -s `which fish'
Then logging out and logging back in should put it into effect.
Because I don’t like the generic bash/fish prompts, I changed the prompt myself in the .config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish.
Here is my config file: https://github.com/thallia/dotconfig/tree/master/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish
