fuckwit12175y@devs yeah only all your bash scripts you ever wrote. (yeah I know you can reinstall bash via homebrew or what not)
-
There is nothing worse than getting suggestions for what you type, you guys are right, zsh is the worst.
-
fuckwit12175y@devs no they don't? They may seem to work because you still have bash installed and your script features a shebang for bash. But zsh and bash scripting syntax are incompatible
-
git-gud14085y@fuckwit that is why you put a shebang there in the first place, so they are working even when running from other shells. and if you forgot your shebang, well, hope you learned something.

cbsa56885yFor starters,
shortcuts like home end .. does not work, incompatible with bash scripts,
no suggestions,
I'd rather go with simple shell than a complicated one,
doesn't manage my dependencies and env variables,
It's broken to say the least, -
This thread sounds like "I'm mad at Apple for making an interesting choice, because I don't use shebang lines!"
Seems like a weird stance to take. -
fuckwit12175y@deadPix3l I'm not sure but I think they completely remove the default bash. So even if you have a shebang you would still need to install bash manually via homebrew or some other way
-
@fuckwit okay. Now that is a bold move. And not one I agree with. Its still a gold standard, and should ship. Especially since Homebrew is itself not shipped by default.
Still don't see what could break though. I switched to zsh at home a year ago. And still use bash at work. I am switching back and forth daily and have not even noticed any incompatibilities. Sometimes I forget I have zsh even. So I'm confused to what the problem really is. -
fuckwit12175y@deadPix3l zsh and bash are not really compatible. Yes zsh can emulate sh which covers a not so small subset of syntax but it doesn't know what to do with bashs extensions to sh. I tested zsh on some of my scripts today and some do work. But the more complex ones don't.
