:wrench: My utility belt of fish functions, writing these has saved me many hours in the long run... I hope...

Fish Utility Functions

This repo contains a (rarely updated) collection of my custom fish helper funcs and dotfiles.

Issues with Fish

Problems that fish has that bash doesn't have (I love fish as a shell, I just don't think it's good as a scripting language):

  • https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/159
  • https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1396
  • https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/206
  • https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/2007
  • https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/510
  • https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4907
  • backgrounding fish functions does not exist: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/238
  • so I had to make an entire job control system for fish that just calls out to bash: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/2036#issuecomment-298495526 …
