plugin-bang-bang VS Batsh

I use this to have it work exactly like in bash. You don't really need to install the plugin you just copy paste the code inside the functions folder in your config.fish, it's like 20 lines.

Fish has plugin which adds !! functionality https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-bang-bang

omf install bang-bang

The first thing in install with oh-my-fish is bang-bang, which fixes this issue for me.

Take a look at fish plugins. Use oh my fish or fisher for plugin management and install bang bang. It's what you're looking for! There are also lists of plugins and themes/prompts, you may be interested in those too.

(Just fyi. I've been collecting links to similar things because of Reasons).

I wish there was a nicer shell scripting language that simply transpiled to Bash and would generate all this boilerplate code for me. There is https://batsh.org/ which has a nice syntax but it doesn't even support pipes or redirection, making it pretty worthless for shell scripting. I haven't found any other such scripting languages.

There are some languages that compile into bash like Batch. Shell commands can also be called from Python code using this (never tried it): https://plumbum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Maybe https://github.com/batsh-dev-team/Batsh

Not really what you're asking for, but a language that compiles to bash for portability reminded me of Batsh [0], a C-like language that compiles to bash for Linux/Mac and batch for Windows.

There used to be something called Batsh as well but no longer seems to be actively developed

There are a couple projects that provide a language that compiles to Bash, which gets around Oil's portability problem somewhat. Bish and Batsh come to mind.
