Yes, this is internal interpreted bash commands vs external commands. older command prompts had less internal commands. Newer command interpreters (like BASH) have many and are a good quality of life improvement over the older shells. Also the search order is usually Internal commands and then external commands unless you specify the full path (which was shown in the video). Also also, use the type command to tell you about a command being an internal keyword or external program. Wait till he starts talking about [ and ].

@yousuckatprogramming yes it's such a normal programming syntax you'd just assume it was internal.

Tnx man! Learned something new today too!

I personally use bash, but I've been recommended zsh a lot as it is supposed to be more "developer friendly", whats ur take on this ?

The zsh manages annoy me a lot. I usually just do `man zshall` and search for the term I have because it’s easier than trying to figure out exactly where the thing I need lies

I want to use bash but I can’t get away from the tab-complete in zsh. I wonder how hard it would be to port that over, or use fzf as an alternative.

I'm in the same situation. Vi mode is also better in zsh

I don’t use zsh, I’m team bash but I have tab completion in bash, and have had for years, and also live and die by fzf. Am I missing something with zsh completion being wholly different?

@beardedgiant i assume it's based around vim's completion if it's better?

It's not a man page, It's a man book.

whats your config for your manpage being coloured?
