Brett's Fish Files

A collection of configuration files and functions for the Fish shell. These would be installed in ~/.config/fish/, though I don't recommend overwriting your current setup wholesale. Pick and choose, use this repo as examples for your own exploration.

The folders

• bash_scripts: some utilities that were too much trouble to port from Bash and work just as well run with hashbangs. They just need to be in the $PATH (some commands reference my local path, ~/scripts/fish, which will need updating).

• completions: various completion configurations for custom commands.

• custom: some files I source at login (from config.fish), mostly shared functions I think I need to have in memory (as opposed to autoloaded), and some aliases that don't make great functions.

• functions: the mother lode. All of my favorite commands (and some experimental ones). Most have a description on the function declaration, so you can see it in source or by running the describe command that you'll find in this folder (which essentially runs functions -Dv, but prettier).
