Give me one good reason to switch from bash to zsh and I'll do it right now. I even have it already installed.

tab completion is great compared to bash. Type
cd /h/u/D/, press tab, and it will cycle through all paths that match that pattern, to /home/user/Documents/.

It also cycles through different possible tab completions in the command line, rather than just showing you a list of options and expecting you to type yourself.

>>52679469
Backward compatible. You can use ZSH just like you use Bash, and take advantage of ZSH's features one at a time as needed.

I can give you a few:

- completion (cd completion, git completion, etc...) is quite good and built into zsh. bash can have completion as well, but my understanding is it's not as good.
- sort of a corollary: zsh has path expansion that's just great. I recorded a little example of that but my ffmpeg is broken so i'm re-making it... I'll post it in a bit.
- like others said, oh-my-zsh is a pretty great set of settings and aliases and shit. that alone is kind of worth it if you're just getting into shell stuff.

zsh is for gay macfags who can't configure their PS1 themselves

Linux babby here. Been using Bash and the autocomplete stuff sounds cool for zsh, but are there any big fundamental differences? Would I have to "re-learn" anything to switch to zsh?

i'm not sure what your point is here. is it that oh-my-zsh is just about the aliases? in that case, it's more than copying that one set of aliases.

are you saying that not-comprehensive list of joke aliases in a plugin is evidence that the whole thing is bad? that's throwing the baby out with the bath water, like dismissing a program like MS Excel on the basis that it has (had?) an easter egg videogame in it. it's one little thing that's out of the way. chill.

And proceed to configure ZSH without downloading OMZ garbage.
It's not fucking hard.

You don't need OMZ for fancy tab completion, vanilla ZSH can do it too with some configuration.

pretty much this. zsh is cool, I install it on every machine I expect to be using on a regular basis but it's really only a handful of minor features on top of bash, other alternatives like fish are in a lot of ways a better idea, it's kind of a case of worse is better.

You got me.

Everyone saying that oh-my-zsh is bad is just trolling. Heh, you really had me worked up there!

>>52680553
What if its not included in my OS?

>>52680627
are you talking about zsh itself, or the update setting? the update timeout is rather aggressive, but i've never heard of the diff update taking someone that long unless they were unbelievably out of date and using an internet connection measured in baud.

regardless, if you want to turn it off, you can, and if you want to set it to a week or a month or whatever, that's doable too.

i realize omz makes things easier but there is still some expectation that the user is capable of taking basic care of himself.

>>52680755
what operating system (other than windows) doesn't include bash? even os x bakes in (albeit grossly outdated) utilities.

>>52680839
The big three commercial Unix's (solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX) all use sh or ksh. *BSD's use ksh or tcsh. and Fun Fact: MacOSx being a BSD originally used tcsh until 10.3.

>>52680937
that's interesting. what percentage of users are using solaris or HP-UX or IBM AIX these days?

like i guess what i'm asking is whether your earlier question is purely academic or actually practical.

>>52682859

You wot. Chrome runs bash scripts just fine too as long as they have the fucking crunchbang.

>>52682927
I don't believe you. What business does a browser have, execute scripts on my machine?

>>52679451
What a pretentious picture.

1) They replaced the word god with zsh, implying that zsh is godly

2) There's a bunch of people standing around the viewer in a slightly pressuring half-circle formation, implying that if you do not like zsh, you are at best not part of the "cool kids" and at worst gonna get your ass beaten.

It's like the violent geek version of Jehovah witnesses or mormons.

>>52679451
You've convinced me.

Just did https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Zsh/Guide and got my aliases and shit set up again.

Seems not that much different, but the completion is certainly better.

>>52682953
His point was that fish doesn't actually execute your bash scripts, bash does, fish just invokes bash to do it. The doesn't change the fact that fish interoperates with bash scripts just fine of course but then literally any shell can do that.

>>52682993
My original point was that the usual complaint of "fish isn't bash compatible so I can't use the massive amount of bash scripts out there" is baseless. How fish does it is not important to my point. Of course it invokes bash and of course it understands #! at the top of a script means to run the script using that

>>52683016
right, I agree with you, I was just explaining why he took issue with "fish runs bash scripts", even if it's a non-complaint

>>52682976
You have a long, happy life ahead of you. That completion will start to change the way you work. Type half a command you've run before, then hit the up arrow. Then try that shit again in bash.

Lastly, download and setup zbell to email you when anything that's been running for more than two minutes is complete.

>>52683100
I'm a fish user myself so I love the command history thing too, but bash does have that. Hit C-r and start typing a command you've run before.
