Notes on the most beautiful shell of the world: fish!

How do I run a command every login? What's fish's equivalent to .bashrc?



Edit the file ~/.config/fish/config.fish, creating it if it does not exist. (Note the leading period.)


How do I set my prompt?

The prompt is the output of the function fish_prompt. Put it in ~/.config/fish/config.fish, or in ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish. For example:

  function fish_prompt
    set_color $fish_color_cwd
    echo -n (prompt_pwd)
    set_color normal
    echo -n ' > '
  end
