I think it's a great idea. I've done a little bit of this publication thing myself in the past and would be happy to contribute in any way. There is plenty of books out there for bourne, korn, and of course bash, and doing a fish book would be a welcome addition - the others can be referred to as examples of why fish is better. :) On an administration side of things it is well worth your while getting an ISBN for the publication as well. Of course, one can write 90% of the book before thinking about this. Having the book in progress in a repository (e.g., git) where you can invite users to push additions, elaborations, and changes is handy too.

Re: [Fish-users] Introduction and plans for a book about Fish
This is an awesome idea and something I think that Fish shell needs. It's often hard to easily convince people of its merits. Not until they work with it for awhile.

Re: [Fish-users] Introduction and plans for a book about Fish
Hi Rob. If writing an ebook for fish, you might want to have a look at the Bash documents at http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ as examples of ideas for documentation. Something like the BashPitfalls for fish (if it has any pitfalls) would be very cool. On Mon, Jun 11, 2018, at 11:00, Robert O. wrote: > Hi all, > I am Rob from Hungary.

[Fish-users] Introduction and plans for a book about Fish
Hi all, I am Rob from Hungary. It’s good to be here among you Fishers :) I have been a Fish user for a couple years now, it’s my choice on Mac OS, Arch, and on numerous VPN and VPS boxes, wherever terminal access is a must. I won’t bore you with my reasons, I believe everyone who is here knows most of them, and ‘because Fish is pure awesome’ really sums it up, anyway. Apart from my introduction, I’m also writing to ask the Fish community whether there is any interest in an ebook about the shell. I’m planning to write a somewhat lengthy book, explaining Fish’s features in more detail, as well as giving handy tips for daily use. I am also hoping to feature a cookbook section, with ready-to-use scripts, solutions to possible issues (e.g. things to look out for when porting Bash scripts to Fish, debugging scripts, etc). Any input on this is welcome, in case of scripts or examples, with proper credit, of course.
