Support for fish shell
Support for the fish shell in the installation and after the setup is finished. The commands that are provided to set everything up do not work in this shell.
Send me a Meet/Zoom invitation and I'll try to help.

Few points here:
- Even if fish is the default shell Bash should be present on the system so the installer command
bash <(curl...should "just work" on these systems. Creating an installer script that can be properly interpreted by multiple shells (bash, zsh, fish, whatever) is out of scope here. - If GAM is able to detect fish is default shell for user we may be able to update the fish rc file (~/.fishrc ?) with commands to tell fish how to execute GAM.
@jay0lee it doesn't seem like your first point is accurate. Fish requires the use of psub:
bash (curl -s -S -L https://gam-shortn.appspot.com/gam-install | psub)
Attempting to use the standard bash redirection fails:
> bash <(curl -s -S -L https://gam-shortn.appspot.com/gam-install)
fish: Invalid redirection target:
bash <(curl -s -S -L https://gam-shortn.appspot.com/gam-install)
Thanks @taers232c - I think I'm set. GAM installed okay for me using that adjusted command.
It's a fish-specific mechanism for process substitution:

As shells go, fish is pretty unique. I'm still getting used to it myself and trying to decide if the peculiarities are a benefit or a hindrance (I'm leaning toward the former).
