Fish is a user friendly command line shell. It features syntax highlighting, advanced tab completion features, discoverable help, a revised shell syntax and many other features.

Example typing: 'find -na', when pressing the TAB button completes it to 'find name'. Typing 'find -a' and then pressing TAB will show all arguments that start with '-a' - and it also includes detailed explanations.
