I found it today on github, looks cool, but unfortunately it has no nushell support.

speaking of supported shells, here is a list:

  • bash
  • zsh
  • fish
  • pwsh
  • powershell
    • NixDev

      Found that article recently. It is a great look into what MS is doing. Makes sense on why they killed Atom so quickly after the GitHub acquisition. I still need MS for some work stuff but almost everything else has been migrated to JetBrains for my IDE.

      I am really hoping that JavaScript comes out with a native typescript so the MS bullshit dies.

        Yes but making the underlaying stuff limited to official builds is questionable open-source.

    Pretty cool when I need autocompletion, but it really messes with my zsh config so I won’t be using it all the time

    We already had https://fig.io/ and while it isn’t officially open source, their obfuscating efforts (at least on linux) are very pathetic to the point where they might have as well just put it up on github.

    Oh and a huge negative is that they have been recently aquired by amazon. I don’t know whether thats worse than microsoft.

      It’s worse. Fig is a freemium product that aims to get you on a subscription model. This all but guarantees enshittification. Also fig is currently Mac only. The UI is also kinda gauche

    I’m trying to figure out how this gets monetized. It doesn’t look like it actually phones home. The only interesting dependency is Fig, which another commenter calls out. Since this basically just wraps Fig, I wonder if this is Microsoft’s first pass at getting into shells before they reimplement Fig themselves.

    Note I didn’t look to see what kind of telemetry Fig collects. I skimmed the dep from this package but didn’t feel like chasing down the tree of Fig deps that get pulled into that one.

    What is a real advantage compared to plain autocomplete? Was it trained to know command flags?

    It is anyway nice to see that even in Microsoft the abomination of Powershell is the lowest in the list of shells. It is probably time for them to drop it completely

      Have you even used PS? I’m sorry, but PowerShell is leagues ahead of old shit like bash and alike.

        Unfortunately… That is why I commented above…

        Powershell is a shell that pretends to be an OO language and that fails dramatically at both.

        It was a design mistake. Much better having a real separation, a real shell and a real OO language. As even Microsoft has recently understood. As you can see also in this case, where Powershell is the last entry

          It’s last in the list, because PS is Intellisensed in VS Code for like a decade now. You’re so out of the loop I wonder why you keep posting incorrect stuff.

            VSCode supports it also for other shells. This repo is not about vscode, it’s about actual shells. You are the one incorrect in this case

            When someone brings points in the discussion, you react like a fan boy student that just bought the new gaming laptop.

            Could you please reply about the discussion or go back to school? I am too old for your “no, you shit, you stoopid”

            I wonder myself why I keep answering to your comments and that’s why this is my last comment
