I see a lot of enthusiasm for fish. Can someone point me to some resources that I can check?

Not the best comparison but: vim has vimtutor, a couple of good vim games and so on. Is there anything for fish?

Honestly, fish is really simple. Just fire it up! You definitely don't need a vimtutor equivalent, you probably won't customize anything beyond the prompt, and the syntax weirdness is pretty intuitive, but you can always use `help function` or whatever to get docs.

Here's the docs if you do want to read about it first: https://fishshell.com/docs/current/

Someone already mentioned the official docs. They’re good.

I also enjoyed https://jvns.ca/blog/2017/04/23/the-fish-shell-is-awesome/ which is a nice read though not a tutorial.
