bass VS nvm.fish

> 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 :)

https://github.com/edc/bass

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.

nvm

https://github.com/jorgebucaran/nvm.fish (if you want a fish native reimplementation of nvm), or

The good news is I think I'm able to get the right version by installing nvm through jorgebucaran/nvm.fish and adding its install location to my path. Bummer that I can't seem to get npm with the proper version of node through homebrew though.

The last person to post this issue was told to use an LTS version. Please note that I have done this using nvm.fish.

If you’re using fish, check out nvm.fish (https://github.com/jorgebucaran/nvm.fish). Works like a charm :)

Note : for nvm users fish does not support nvm instead u get this or something like this.
