I found it today on github, looks cool, but unfortunately it has no nushell support.
speaking of supported shells, here is a list:
How and when is Microsoft somehow turning this thing into another bait into some semi-proprietary thing they’ll leverage to force people into their other things? ghuntley.com/fracture/
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.
We already had 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.
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 interface is also kinda gauche
I’ve been using it on Linux for over a year as a beta tester. It’s in the AUR.

What is a real advantage compared to plain autocomplete? Was it trained to know command flags?
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 want to be a OO language and it fails dramatically at both
Well you know how it is, you always save the best for last. 😉
Pretty cool when I need autocompletion, but it really messes with my zsh config so I won’t be using it all the time
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.

It’s clever, but sounds stupid
