oh-my-fish VS tide

Despite these attractive attributes, many developers I've come across don't prefer Fish shell, primarily due to integration gaps with tools like Python's virtualenv. So, in this article, I'm offering a simple solution for automatic virtualenv activation for Fish shell, steering clear of resource-intensive frameworks like oh-my-fish that often slow down the shell.

I use Alacritty with Oh My Fish!

I use fishshell, and its Oh my fish framework as my command line shell. Over the years, I have gathered many useful functions and shortcuts. Here are my favorites.

13.) Install oh-my-fish - link ~> https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish $ git clone https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish $ cd oh-my-fish $ bin/install --offline

Moreover, there are tools were made on top of those to provide more functionalities, and fill some of the gaps, for instance, oh-my-zsh, Prezto, oh-my-fish, and much more. However, the default embedded terminal in macOS is still lacking something. That's why iTerm and other terminal like Hyper. It provides you a set of customization to boost your productivity.

Frankly, omf is not in a good place, maintenance-wise, and that has been brought to the maintainer's attention - https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/issues/788.

Windows Terminal + wsl2 sa fish i oh my fish je super ako zelis nesto sto radi dobro i ugodno je oku out of the box

Tide is as close to powerlevel10k as one can get in Fish.

> The main inconvenience of fish is not even having to go into another shell for some tasks like virtual env activation, but wondering whether some command you just ran silently did something wrong because of shell incompatibility.

I have the impression that you just overlook all the rest of the things that can go wrong when using Bash, because you are simply used to it, you know it and you know how it will behave.

> Also, I wonder how fast is OMF compared to Starship?

Those are two total different projects that do not conflict at all. Personally, during my hypomania on Fish (yup), I didn't even use OMF, but added things manually and only those really needed, so that there was as little code to to maintain as possible. Fish does not have a huge number of scripts, plug-ins. If Starship is too slow for you, you might like tide. I found nothing more interesting, after which I returned to Starship anyway, but it's really fast.

Perhaps you don't need something faster than Starship, just to configure Fish in such a way that it cleans itself of garbage and runs asynchronously?

I'm using a custom terminal prompt. Mine is tide for fish shell but there are many others. A lot of people use starship, which works on every terminal

Agreed. I personally like Fisher (https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fisher) with this theme based on Powerlevel10k (https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide)

https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide is the usual recommendation for a powerlevel10k-like experience.

Prompt - https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide. Go fish and never look back.
