Gills
Gills is a very simple Fish shell plugin that adds an empty line after your prompt and before the output of your command to balance the whitespace around them so you can more easily separate your prompts from your command output while skimming your terminal’s scrollback buffer.
It also handles a couple of special cases like cd, pushd, and popd that do not produce any output. In those cases, it doesn’t add the additional empty line. If you find any other edge cases, please feel free to open an issue or a pull request.
It’s called gills because it gives your output room to breathe. Get it? (Sorry.)
Install
Install using Fisher:
fisher install small-tech/gillsHow it works
Technically, like basically everything else in Fish shell, it’s just a function that handles Fish shell’s fish_postexec event.
