Fish might be the Bash alternative you didn't know you needed, thanks to features like highlighting, and smarter command suggestions. Learn how to install it on Ubuntu.
Fish looks cool, but I decided to settle on ble.sh for compatibility reasons. This one deserves some attention too. For me the main motivation was history-based autocomplete.
Blesh adds a lot of functionality that makes bash feel + act like a fancier neoshell, while keeping the same syntax. Also includes a pre-exec hook, which vanilla bash notably lacks.

that’s a command line editor tho fish is a shell?

Highly recommend.
Yes, but “command line editor” is a confusing term. For me it’s “get features of a fancy shell in pure bash”.
