Previously, fish's command_not_found handler would be installed in __fish_config_interactive. Errors that occured early in startup (e.g. in config.fish) or in non-interactive mode would therefore not be reported. With this change, fish now exposes its default cnf handler as __fish_default_command_not_found_handler . config.fish then installs a cnfh that invokes the default. When fish goes interactive, the initial cnfh is overwritten with a fancier one, that may in turn fall back to invoking the default. |

fish - the friendly interactive shell 
fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for OS X, Linux, and the rest of the family. fish includes features like syntax highlighting, autosuggest-as-you-type, and fancy tab completions that just work, with no configuration required.
For more on fish's design philosophy, see the design document.
Quick Start
fish generally works like other shells, like bash or zsh. A few important differences can be found at http://fishshell.com/tutorial.html by searching for magic phrase 'unlike other shells'.
Detailed user documentation is available by running help within fish, and also at http://fishshell.com/docs/2.0/index.html
Building
fish is written in a sane subset of C++98, with a few components from C++TR1. It builds successfully with g++ 4.2 or later, and with clang. It also will build as C++11.
fish can be built using autotools or Xcode. autoconf 2.60 or later is required.
fish requires gettext for translation support.
Autotools Build
autoconf
./configure
make [gmake on BSD]
sudo make install
Xcode Development Build
- Build the
basetarget in Xcode - Run the fish executable, for example, in
DerivedData/fish/Build/Products/Debug/base/bin/fish
Xcode Build and Install
xcodebuild install
sudo ditto /tmp/fish.dst /
Build Dependencies (or, Help, it didn't build!)
If fish reports that it could not find curses, try installing a curses development package and build again.
On Debian or Ubuntu you want:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
on RedHat, CentOS, or Amazon EC2:
sudo yum install ncurses-devel
To build with translation support, make sure you have a gettext package installed.
To build the documentation, make sure you have Doxygen installed.
Runtime Dependencies
fish requires a number of utilities to operate, which should be present on any Unix, GNU/Linux or OS X system. These include (but are not limited to) grep, awk, sed, which, and getopt. The bc program is also required.
Some optional features of fish, such as the manual page completion parser and the web configuration tool, require Python.
In order to generate completions from man pages compressed with either lzma or xz, you may need to install an extra Python package.
Python versions prior to 2.6 are not supported. For Python versions 2.6 to 3.2 you need to install the module backports.lzma. How to install it depends on your system and how you installed Python. Most Linux distributions should include it as a package named backports-lzma (or similar). From version 3.3 onwards, Python already includes the required module.
Packages for Linux
Instructions on how to find builds for several Linux distros are at https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/wiki/Nightly-builds
Switching to fish
If you wish to use fish as your default shell, use the following command:
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
chsh will prompt you for your password, and change your default shell.
To switch your default shell back, you can run:
chsh -s /bin/bash
Substitute /bin/bash with /bin/tcsh or /bin/zsh as appropriate.
