bass VS starship

> 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.

Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

I'm staying on BitstromWera Nerd Font. Works great with Starship.

I use conditional includes for this, but I also add a single letter describing which Git identity I'm currently using to my PS1 so that it appears before $ in my shell prompt. This prevents me from committing code with the wrong identity, in case I'm using a git checkout that's anywhere not covered by the conditional include rules.

I use Starship (https://starship.rs) to manage my prompt, and wrote a short script that only runs if I'm somewhere in a git repo, and if so finds my Git user's email and looks up the corresponding letter in an associative array declared in my ~/.config/starship-zsh/.zshenv:

    git_email=$(git config --get user.email | perl -pe 'chomp if eof')
