Setup fails if remote is using fish shell

[jariz]

Describe the bug

If I connect to a remote where I have the default shell set to the fish shell, it will fail at the Setting up Neovim on remote host step. If I chsh to bash, everything works fine.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

# on remote
apt install fish 
fish
chsh -s (which fish) youruser

Connect to the machine with RemoteStart, it will immediately fail. Error log:

The current scripts are unfortunately just bash scripts that take care of ensuring the Neovim download and installation. I think it would need to be handled somehow though. I'll put some more thoughts on this and let you know once I have a fix in mind.

I have been away for past couple of months and am slowly going through the backlog so this might take a while to get resolved. Thanks for reporting this! Appreciate it!!

I am trying to connect to different machine, but they halt in the install neovim steps.
