A new shell for using modern alternatives to Unix commands

I’m testing a new shell called fish, and I’m enjoying some features that truly make it a friendly interactive shell.

Once you’re in fish, use the open command to view the tutorial:

open /usr/share/doc/fish/index.html
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For this modern shell alternative, you can check out this GitHub repository that features a collection of modern/faster/saner alternatives to common Unix commands.

And that’s it, a quick tip about new tools for Linux users.
