    The Fish Shell Framework

  • Despite these attractive attributes, many developers I've come across don't prefer Fish shell, primarily due to integration gaps with tools like Python's virtualenv. So, in this article, I'm offering a simple solution for automatic virtualenv activation for Fish shell, steering clear of resource-intensive frameworks like oh-my-fish that often slow down the shell.

  • CPython

    The Python programming language

  • Despite these attractive attributes, many developers I've come across don't prefer Fish shell, primarily due to integration gaps with tools like Python's virtualenv. So, in this article, I'm offering a simple solution for automatic virtualenv activation for Fish shell, steering clear of resource-intensive frameworks like oh-my-fish that often slow down the shell.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • fish-autovenv

    Automatically activate/deactivate Python virtual enviroments when entering/leaving a directory

  • I adapted the code from timothybrown/fish-autovenv, originally created by Timothy Brown, and published the modified version on GitHub.

  • virtualenv

    Virtual Python Environment builder

  • Despite these attractive attributes, many developers I've come across don't prefer Fish shell, primarily due to integration gaps with tools like Python's virtualenv.

  • fisher

    A plugin manager for Fish

  • As a minimalist plugin manager for Fish, I recommend fisher. I've created a plugin that can be installed via fisher and integrated into any Fish environment. If there are any reasons why you don't want to use Fisher, you can just copy-paste conf.d/autoenv.fish file to your ~/.config/fish/conf.d directory.
