I use
zshas my interactive shell.For scripts though I am experimenting with
nushell.AstonJ
I use zsh on my Mac and bash on our servers.
(PS did you edit the poll? Cos my vote disappeared - had to revote, anyone else who voted may need to revote as well)
jswanner
Thanks for reminding me that I forgot Nushell
jswanner
Oh, thanks for letting me know that editing the poll resets it. I won’t edit it anymore
AstonJ
I wasn’t aware it reset votes myself so it’s good to know. (There’s a 5 minute time-limit on editing polls)
jswanner
Assuming you voted before, you’ll need to do so again, as I added Nushell to the list.
AstonJ
Let’s also experiment with something we mentioned a while back - pinning some of these polls to see if that helps more people notice them (as we get some many threads now)

I find it interesting that you’re only experimenting with using nushell for scripting and not as your interactive shell. I’ve played around briefly with nushell as an interactive shell, and have been meaning to try it out more as it seems quite cool.
Why are you sticking with zsh as your interactive shell?
NobbZ
Familiarity… Basically…
I want to keep my prompt, I want to keep my completions, and I don’t like a lot of the nushell builtins.
And most snippets in the wild (usually ment for
shlikes) work forzshnearly without changes. I do not like to remember to adjust them each time I copy them.
