What do you mean by good looking though? If it's the color scheme or text font/size/color those can be customised in practically any terminal emulator(even Terminal.app).



The thing I like the most is the path bar. I also like the design of the space where you enter commands.

Autocomplete by default is also very nice.

Look & feel is not just colors, but a lot of small details that make the UI look good and polished.


The path bar looks like powerline, which you can get without this.


apt install fish

chsh

Now you have those completions, documented and all, in all your terminals, whether it's Konsole, Gnome-Terminal, St, Terminator or the linux tty.


Yes, I've used it in the past.

I don't use it because '&&' is not available. I use it pretty often.


Instead use:

    command1; and command2

It's not the same thing.

; executes the following command even if the first one fails. && only if the previous command returns 0.


Not when used with and. And and or verify if the previous command executed. It says as much in the documentation linked by OP.

So you can do things like: runthiscommand; and echo "Success"; or echo "Failed"

Oh but it is! Read the link!
