        I thought it’d have better git prompt out of the box. I guess I have to try it configure.

            I just installed it as it is out of the box. What do you suggest for improving git prompt?

      I thought you weren’t supposed to use Fish as your login shell directly since it isn’t fully POSIX compatible

        Why would your login shell need to be fully POSIX compatible?

          They warn about it on their home page, so I assumed using it could bust your system. My bad.
          I think they also had harsher wording about this in the past but I might be misremembering…

          This was more of a problem when they didn’t support basic POSIX-isms so even basic calls to sh like sh -c 'echo "foo" && echo "bar"' would fail. Less of a problem now but you never know when a random script is going to rely on some obscure POSIX flag

            Scripts who use #!/bin/sh are independent of your login shell.

            What does any of that have to do with your login shell?
