What is your favorite command-line shell?

Post Reply New Topic

My favorite is zsh. I use the oh-my-zsh configuration for various customizations, along with liquidprompt for my shell prompt, and my own .zshrc profile.

CMD.EXE. It has tab completion and support for long filenames, what more do you need?

All kidding aside, as much as I like using CMD on Windoze, I understand that it's quite limited compared to a "real" shell. All of the different ones I've used on Linux seem similar for the most part, and I wouldn't be surprised if most of them were based on BASH. I've never done any sort of scripting with them though, aside from setting up shortcuts to run programs with certain commandline parameters, like batch files on Windows/DOS.

I prefer BASH. This is easier to learn than most other shells out there.

BASH although I haven' t really used any other shells
