Use a shell with decent auto-completion. I have not been irritated by this in years.
Won’t autocomplete fail if you do “cd d” and then try the autocomplete?
Or is that what you mean by “decent” auto-completion?
No, it will probably go to "Documents", and if you hit tab again it should go to "Downloads". (Assuming you have the normal default folders)
bash's autocomplete fails (at least with default settings), but e.g. zsh can figure out what you mean
Not with a decent autocomplete. It will look for a folder starting with a small d and if it doesn't exist it looks at a folder with a large D.
The choice of the letter d was brilliant, that's for sure. Now I'm imagining a folder with a large D.
I don't get what you mean. It doesn't matter if you write a uppercase or lowercase d
Best example I could find without being crude.
Oh my zsh?
No. Zsh. It's pretty easy to have a nice auto compl. No need for omz. After knowing poweline10k I just use it and syntax highlight plugin, manually installed. There is no need to add entire omz.
I just don't use caps when naming directories
What shell would you recommend? 🤔
I use fish which is quite nice OOTB, although if you want a posix compliant shell, zsh with some plugins is also great.
If you need to run a set of commands or a script with fish you can just toss them in a file and run
bash file.sh. I have been daily driving fish for years and I don't even have think about it.https://ohmyz.sh/
Is fucking irrelevant. Just use your package manager.
Get some anger management help.
Maybe stop trying to be a smartass.
Zsh.
Omg looks like people think omz is a shell.
I personally like xonsh despite the minor amount of wonkiness it has, it's so nice to have python available directly in your shell, it takes the "i don't care about the quality of my code i just want this shit to work with minimal effort"-ness of bash and turns it up to 13.
