bass VS tide

> I do wish fish could seamlessly convert and run bash scripts on the fly..

It can. With a little help. I use this:

https://github.com/edc/bass

I've been using it for years and most things I need nowadays just work (i.e. have Fish support out of the box).

For all the rest, perhaps give https://github.com/edc/bass a try.

If you're running a script, you can use edc/bass to run it from a fish shell. Fisher is one of the first things I install after fish, then bass, z and a few other helper plugins.

Use bass to drop down to bash from fish :)

As for POSIX, I'll just type bash and do what I need to do, or call a script. You also might want to use the plugin bass, because some programs do not pick up on variables that are set in fish. I think there are other similar plugins, but in my experience bass is the best one. https://github.com/edc/bass

This is an older utility, but still a good one - Bass attempts to make the transition from Bash/Zsh to Fish a little simpler: https://github.com/edc/bass

omf install https://github.com/fabioantunes/fish-nvm omf install https://github.com/edc/bass

I think https://github.com/edc/bass might help?

There are a few ways to work with it, either it simply has "var=val" statements that you could turn into a while read loop that sets variables, or you would need something like bass.

There is no need to change `$SHELL` :-/ you can use Bass (https://github.com/edc/bass) to execute any bash script and it will apply the environment variables to the current fish environment.

Tide is as close to powerlevel10k as one can get in Fish.

> The main inconvenience of fish is not even having to go into another shell for some tasks like virtual env activation, but wondering whether some command you just ran silently did something wrong because of shell incompatibility.

I have the impression that you just overlook all the rest of the things that can go wrong when using Bash, because you are simply used to it, you know it and you know how it will behave.

> Also, I wonder how fast is OMF compared to Starship?

Those are two total different projects that do not conflict at all. Personally, during my hypomania on Fish (yup), I didn't even use OMF, but added things manually and only those really needed, so that there was as little code to to maintain as possible. Fish does not have a huge number of scripts, plug-ins. If Starship is too slow for you, you might like tide. I found nothing more interesting, after which I returned to Starship anyway, but it's really fast.

Perhaps you don't need something faster than Starship, just to configure Fish in such a way that it cleans itself of garbage and runs asynchronously?

I'm using a custom terminal prompt. Mine is tide for fish shell but there are many others. A lot of people use starship, which works on every terminal

Agreed. I personally like Fisher (https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fisher) with this theme based on Powerlevel10k (https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide)

https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide is the usual recommendation for a powerlevel10k-like experience.

Prompt - https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide. Go fish and never look back.
