config VS bass

I went through the initial config wizard of zsh exactly once, almost a decade ago[1]. It took me maybe 5-10 minutes, and even though I don't fully understand what each command means, I haven't modified it in all this time, and it works well. I really don't think this was any significant waste of time or tedious task - I was just as free to simply ignore it.

Most of the remainder of my zsh config are prompt utilities and other things I've added over the years. I don't use or really need any plugins, though if I needed, last time I tried zplug it was really easy to set up and use.

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

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.
