Show HN: Shellock, a real-time CLI flag explainer for fish shell

I just tried it out, nice! It's a useful tool, but the installation process didn't work for me following the steps as written. As it stands:

* The shellock directory must be in ~/Downloads, otherwise the shellock_bindings.fish fails to source it.

* The installation script in the repo didn't work because it tried to symlink shellock_bindings.fish without specifying an absolute path (`~/.config/fish/conf.d/shellock_bindings.fish -> ./shellock_bindings.fish`) -> caused a recursive symlink which broke.

Now I got it working by making sure to place shellock in Downloads (not ideal long term, I often clear my Downloads folder), and manually symlinking the bindings explicitly. It seems to work pretty well!

Looks like a cool idea - what does it do with more complicated commands, e.g. two commands with a pipe? Does it pick the last part of the pipe?

Nice, I tried looking for something like this but never found anything. Glad to see someone working on it.

I read the title too quickly and thought that 12 years later shellshock was making a come back!

Cool! Recommendations for something similar on zsh?
