Ask HN: What shell do you use?

5 pointsRevell4 comments
On HN

There's a couple different shells available at the moment, the most popular being ZSH[0], Fish[1] and Bash[2].

Which one has your preference? And how do you deal with different environments and shells (e.g. SSH into a server and you're using Bash i.o. your own preferred local shell)?

Good old fashioned bash. zfs is newer and probably better, but you use what you grew up with.

bash for it's the most standard. That helps management a lot.

zsh (oh-my-zsh)

Emacs shell.
