From Ash, Bash and Csh to Xonsh, Ysh and Zsh; all shell languages are welcome here!

Rules:

Follow Lemmy rules!
Posts must relate to shell scripting. (See bottom of sidebar for more information.)
Only make helpful replies to questions. This is not the place for low effort joke answers.
No discussion about piracy or hacking.
If you find a solution to your problem by other means, please take your time to write down the steps you used to solve your problem in the original post. You can potentially help others having the same problem!
These rules will change as the community grows.

Keep posts about shell scripting! Here are some guidelines to help:

Allowed: Release Announcement of a command-line program designed for scripted use (e.g. bash, bats, awk, jq, coreutils/moreutils)
Allowed: Tutorials on using shell languages or supplementary tools designed for scripted use
Allowed: Code review/help requests for shell languages or supplementary tools designed for scripted use
NOT Allowed: Announcement of a CLI or TUI program that is not designed for scripted use (Yes, your fancy Zsh plugin which pretty-prints the date and time using only builtins is very cool, but unless you actually want to discuss the code itself, please check out !commandline instead!)
NOT Allowed: Domain-specific tutorials that do not involve shell scripting as a core component (e.g. docker-compose, ansible, nix). If you really love one of these, I'm sure there's a community out there ready to talk about them!
NOT Allowed: Code review requests for non-shell programming languages and configuration languages (e.g. Python, Yaml)

In general, if your submission text is primarily shell code, then it is welcome here!

Release fish 3.7.0 (released January 1, 2024) (github.com)

This release of fish includes a number of improvements over fish 3.6.4, detailed below. Although work continues on the porting of fish internals to the Rust programming language, that work is not included in this release. fish 3.7.0 and any future releases in the 3.7 series remain C++ programs.

Notable improvements and fixes

Improvements to the history pager, including:
The history pager will now also attempt subsequence matches (#9476), so you can find a command line like git log 3.6.1..Integration_3.7.0 by searching for gitInt.
Opening the history pager will now fill the search field with a search string if you’re already in a search (#10005). This makes it nicer to search something with ↑ and then later decide to switch to the full pager.
Closing the history pager with enter will now copy the search text to the commandline if there was no match, so you can continue editing the command you tried to find right away (#9934).
Performance improvements for command completions and globbing, where supported by the operating system, especially on slow filesystems such as NFS (#9891, #9931, #10032, #10052).
fish can now be configured to wait a specified amount of time for a multi-key sequence to be completed, instead of waiting indefinitely. For example, this makes binding kj to switching modes in vi mode possible.
The timeout can be set via the new fish_sequence_key_delay_ms variable (#7401), and may be set by default in future versions.
