Fish (or friendly interactive shell- stylized in lowercase) is a Unix-like shell with a focus on interactivity and usability. Fish is designed to be feature-rich by default, rather than highly configurable.[4] Fish is considered an exotic shell since it does not adhere to POSIX shell standards, at the discretion of its maintainers.[5]
