Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of fish 4.0.2. This is a bugfix
release for fish 4.0.0, which it appears I never actually announced on
the list - the message was signed and ready to go, but still in my
drafts.

Here's the announcement from that message:

The tarball and packages for Linux, macOS and Windows will soon be 
available from https://fishshell.com/ and the release notes will be at 
https://fishshell.com/release_notes.html - but in the meantime I have 
uploaded the release to the GitHub releases page at:
  https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/tag/4.0.2

As a new major version, there is a new release:4 channel, so to receive
the newest Linux packages you may need to update your configuration.  If
you'd like to use this method, the links are:
  https://launchpad.net/~fish-shell/+archive/ubuntu/release-4 (Ubuntu)
  https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=shells%3Afish%3Arelease%4A3&package=fish
  (Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE)

A pull request for Homebrew has been merged, making the new version
available via upgrading or running `brew install fish`.

For our distributors, the tarball is available at
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/download/4.0.2/fish-4.0.2.tar.xz
The SHA-256 sum is
6e1ecdb164285fc057b2f35acbdc20815c1623099e7bb47bbfc011120adf7e83 and the
tarball has a signature from my personal PGP key, as does this message.

Re: [Fish-users] functions or abbreviations ?

For me it is like this.

For the simple stuff I use aliases.

Here some examples

```
alias lsbig "ls -s size -l | tail -n 10"

...

if command -sq dnf
    alias dnfs="dnf search"
    alias dnfi="sudo dnf install"
    alias dnfr="sudo dnf remove"
    alias dnfl="sudo dnf list"
    alias dnfu="sudo dnf upgrade"
    alias dnfli="sudo dnf list installed"
    alias dnfc="sudo dnf clean all"
    alias dnfgi="sudo dnf groupinstall"
    alias dnfgl="sudo dnf grouplist"
    alias dnfgr="sudo dnf groupremove"
end

```

For more complex stuff I use functions

Examples

```
function mkcd
  set -l newdir $argv[1]
  mkdir -p $newdir
  cd $newdir
end
```

```
# quick way to show number of files, dirs and symlinks
# in a directory tree
function filestat
    set -l start_dir $argv[1]
    if [ -z $start_dir ]
        set start_dir  '.'
    end

    set -l numf (find $start_dir -type f | wc -l)
    set -l numd (find $start_dir -type d | wc -l)
    set -l numl (find $start_dir -type l | wc -l)

    echo "#dirs=$numd, #files=$numf, #links=$numl"
end
```

I use abbreviations only for stuff like this

```
abbr --add --position anywhere G '| grep'
```

Here I can type, for example: `ls -l G` and a blank and it gets expanded to
   `ls -l | grep`


But your mileage may vary. 😁

Actually, that's my conclusion too. Just that, AFAICS, only functions can be exploited to do complex things. Right ?

Try things out, and get a feel for your preference: the docs describe three ways
of doing it and I don't think that there are very clear ways of how it "should"
be done.

Using 'function' has two caveats that 'alias' fixes (and 'abbr' doesn't have),
so preferring alias/abbr over function would be my advice, but that's also my
preference: if you like the explicitness of function, go for it.

Thank you very much for sharing this with me.

Hello,
MIME-Version: 1.0

makes sense. I plan migrating some scripts I am currently using in zsh as f=
ish functions/scripts.
Notably, I am using mblaze for my mails and I am pretty sure many things I =
am doing today with complex scripts could be done as a fish flugin with fun=
ctions, abrreviations and completions.
I just need to understand how things should be done.

I think that they are both okay.  I think the preference is for you to decide.  I think that the documentation that I mentioned at https://fishshell.com/docs/current/interactive.html#abbreviations explains the difference:
"The advantage [of abbreviations] over aliases [and functions] is that you can see the actual command before using it, add to it or change it, and the actual command will be stored in history."  If you want that feature, use an abbreviation.  If you don't want that feature, use an alias/function.  If you don't care then you don't care.

I already have read that. My question was really this one: is it fine to use ‘function’ as a mean to define what could have been a simple abbreviation.

For example:

function wget --description 'alias wget=wget --hsts-file="$XDG_DATA_HOME/wget-hsts"'
    command wget --hsts-file="$XDG_DATA_HOME/wget-hsts" $argv
end

Or

abbr -a wget 'wget --hsts-file="$XDG_DATA_HOME/wget-hsts"’ 

Which one is okay/preferred ?

Thank you

Re: [Fish-users] functions or abbreviations ?

[Greg R. <gre...@um...>]

You might be interested in abbreviations which has a man page called abbr, or see   https://fishshell.com/docs/current/interactive.html#abbreviations

The man page for alias notes that it is a wrapper for functions.  See https://fishshell.com/docs/current/language.html#defining-aliases

Welcome! I'm also a somewhat new fish user, but here's what I use--you can find
my dotfiles at

I would say that there are three ways:

    function ls
        command ls --color=auto $argv
    end

    alias ls="ls --color=auto"

    abbr --add ls ls --color=auto

You can check out these docpages to read more about them:
- https://fishshell.com/docs/current/language.html#syntax-aliases
- https://fishshell.com/docs/current/interactive.html#abbreviations
- https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/alias.html

As for the "correct" way: I don't think there is one. I prefer 'abbr' since I
like that it expands while I type: it's clearer what it does. For some very long
commands I prefer to use 'alias'. I never really use 'function' for this because
you need to remember to start with 'command' and end with '$argv'.

My dotfiles actually use 'alias' often, but I'm starting to love abbreviations
more and more. They can also be very powerful: check out the 'multicd' abbr from
the first link, and the '!!' abbr from the second one. Here's a short asciinema
that shows how they work: https://asciinema.org/a/nSZWuM8RmZ2etbDK5hoinvTjn

I am a new fish user trying to figure out all the concepts and features.

I browse many github repositories to get some inspiration.

Many people seems to mixup abbreviations and functions. I mean, some functi=

So, what's the correct way to define an "alias" ?

[Fish-users] Beta release of fish: 4.0b1

[David A. <za...@uc...>]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Hi everyone,

I am pleased to say the next release of fish is on its way.

We have made some major changes to fish, although mostly around the
internal implementation. fish is now written in Rust rather than C++,
and as a result there have been some changes in platform support.

The major version has been bumped to 4 to delineate this.

Because of the big shift, we are doing a beta release:
4.0b1/4.0.0-beta.1.

Testing on all platforms is greatly appreciated.

There is more information at https://fishshell.com/blog/fish-4b/

The release notes are available at:
  https://fishshell.com/docs/4.0b1/relnotes.html

Please make sure you read them before upgrading, and be aware that they
are also in beta!

The release is available in the following ways:
* For OS X: through Homebrew with
  `brew install --devel fish-shell/fish-beta-4/fish` or via packages at 
  https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/tag/4.0b1
* For Ubuntu Linux: packages & PPA at
  http://launchpad.net/~fish-shell/+archive/beta-4
* For Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and RedHat/CentOS: packages and repository at
  http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=shells%3Afish%3Abeta%3A4&package=fish
* For other platforms: source tarball at
  https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/download/4.0b1/fish-4.0b1.tar.gz
  (SHA-256 sum is
  534334e10f85722214e9daff82a57cc3501235523f16f8f131c2344e4ec98da7, and
  the tarball has a detached signature from my personal PGP key, which
  signs this message).
* From Git: using the Integration_4.0.0 branch (tagged as 4.0b1).

You can report problems with the beta:
* To this mailing list
* In the GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/

You can get help with fish:
* On this mailing list, <fis...@li...>; or

That's the current git branch. The default prompt includes a 
fish_vcs_prompt function, which in turn calls fish_git_prompt, and this

Ideally these commands provide native fish completions, (if they're
use a framework like Cobra, that should be given) but you can also
reuse bash completions like below.

Would be nice to be able to use something like this as general fallback
but I don't know yet if this is robust enough.
Also fish probably still wants to know whether to include file
completions or not (as indicated by the `-f` option)

[Fish-users] gcloud completions

[Peter F. <in...@wh...>]

Hi all,

Does anyone know a way to get gcloud (& gsutil etc etc) completions 
working in fish? There are bash and zsh completions, any way to convert 
them?

Thanks

[Fish-users] fish 3.7.1 released

[David A. <za...@uc...>]

Hash: SHA512

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of fish 3.7.1, a release with a few
fixes for issues discovered in fish 3.7.0 and some improvements from
ongoing development. In particular, there was a problem with wildcards
in fish 3.7.0 where under some circumstances paths that did not exist
were generated.

The tarball and packages for Linux, macOS and Windows will soon be 
available from https://fishshell.com/ and the release notes will be at 
https://fishshell.com/release_notes.html - but in the meantime I have 
uploaded the release to the GitHub releases page at:
  https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/tag/3.7.1

The Linux packages will be submitted to the release:3 channel, and if 
you are using your system package manager to install fish from these 
channels a new version will make its way to you soon. If you'd like to use 
this method, the links are:
  https://launchpad.net/~fish-shell/+archive/ubuntu/release-3 (Ubuntu)
  https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=shells%3Afish%3Arelease%3A3&package=fish
  (Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and CentOS)

A pull request for Homebrew has been submitted, making the new version
available soon via upgrading or running `brew install fish`.

For our distributors, the tarball is available at
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/download/3.7.1/fish-3.7.1.tar.xz
The SHA-256 sum is
614c9f5643cd0799df391395fa6bbc3649427bb839722ce3b114d3bbc1a3b250 and the
tarball has a signature from my personal PGP key, as does this message.

Thanks to everyone who reported their experiences with fish 3.7.0, and
who has contributed fixes and improvements to the project.

Thanks,

David Adam

[Fish-users] Override a wrapped auto-completion

[Matt O. <he...@ma...>]

Hello,

There is currently an issue with the auto-completion included with yadm (a dot file manager). Yadm works by using a git repo to manage your dot files. It has some of it’s own commands (yadm bootstrap, for example) but the majority of the functionality is essentially a wrapper around the git command.

Yadm includes fish auto-completion, which you can see here: https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm/blob/0a5e7aa353621bd28a289a50c0f0d61462b18c76/completion/fish/yadm.fish

As you can see, it’s pretty simple, but there is currently an issue with the yadm add commands auto-completion taking an extremely long time.

The problem stems from the yadm add auto-completion coming from this line of the yadm.fish file:

complete -c yadm -w "git --git-dir=$GIT_DIR"

The GIT_DIR path will point to a git repo which acts at the root of the current users home folder. This means that when the wrapped git add completion runs it tries to get a list of all untracked files in the home folder, which is massive. This is the part of the git completions which is causing issues:

https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/80133c4bc65b33ac27ede72c929eeb9a8e64a9f0/share/completions/git.fish#L102-L511

The same problem happened with zsh completions in yadm. The fix for that was to override the behaviour of just the yadm add command to be more specific for yadm, but leave all the other completions as a wrapper around git.

@joshzcold has tried to do the same for fish, but it doesn’t seem like it’s possible to use the complete -w to wrap a command, but also override some of them. The wrapper seems to always overwrite the ones you provide:

https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm/issues/359#issuecomment-1961633980

Are we correct that this isn’t possible, or is there a clean way to say that yadm wraps git but also provides its own completions for certain commands?

Thanks,
Matt
