functions fish_prompt is a very useful command to see where the fish prompt is coming from. You may have omf instll a theme, but not change the prompt if there is a fish_prompt in you function path that is taking precedence over the omf theme installed version.

Look for the first line that says somthing like:

you can remove the themes you no longer want with this command. Good idea to to an omf list first

Shows you what plugins and what themes you have instlled, and which ones are active.

changes to a theme that is already installed

Once installed, it will have clobbered any existing fish_prompt.fish file that was located in the .local/share/omf/themes/themname directory.

So a good idea is to record the changes you make to these themed prompts so that you can tweak them again. I have typically changed to "prompt_pwd" to "pwd" as I like to see the whole directory.

installs a theme. You can get the list from omf list

I did this when working out my prompt, and what themes I liked. This is what I got

➜  zintis omf doctor
Oh My Fish version:   6
OS type:              Darwin
Fish version:         fish, version 3.0.2
Git version:          git version 2.23.0
Git core.autocrlf:    no
Warning: fish_prompt.fish is overridden.
fish_config command persists the prompt to ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish
That file takes precedence over Oh My Fish's themes. Remove the file to fix it:
rm ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish

If everything you use Oh My Fish for is working fine, please don't worry and just ignore the warnings. Thanks!
➜  zintis 

Note: since the file ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish is just a symbolic link, I typically don't hesitate to delete it.

Then I can issue the command omf theme x to switch to theme x, and omf will then cretae a new version of ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish

These can be tried at a later time

ls /var/**.log will do a recursive listing of all files ending in .log This is a very useful feature… ** says do the search with *, but the second * means do it for all subdirectories too.

as you type, fish will narrow down your choices from your history buffer. When you see what you want, you can: rightarrow to accept C-f to accept M-rightarrow to accept a single workd of the suggest

tab will try to complete the arugument, command, or path. if there are more than one option, fish (tab) will show them as you type

omf (for oh my fish) omf theme # to list the available themes

My fish shell did not find omf as a command. ????? Feb 6, 2020

Bobthefish prompt has an extensive options sample on github

I found these in the file ~/.config/fish/conf.d/omf.fish set -g theme_displayrust yes set -g theme_displaynode yes set -g theme_{displaypwdonsecondline} yes set -g theme_{displaygitonfirstline} yes set -g theme_displayruby no

-——————————from some other dump (to review) ——————— Quick list for aliasing:

functions aliasname

functions -n

functions -c newalias aliasname

functions -e aliasname

To list what aliases you have already defined:

ls -la ~/.config/fish/functions/ To see what is contained in the functions, use:

type functionName

functions functionName To create an alias:

alias lss 'ls -lart | sort -k9,9' To save said alias:

funcsave lss View the contents of the function:

functions lss

function lss –description 'alias lss ls -lart | sort -k9,9' ls -lart | sort -k9,9 $argv; end To remove an alias:

rm ~/.config/fish/functions/aliasname.fish or use:

functions -e aliasname Oh My Fish https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish

Use nvm with fish If you have Oh My Fish installed then install the bass plugin:

omf install bass Then add the following to your config.fish file:

function nvm bass source (brew –prefix nvm)/nvm.sh –no-use ';' nvm $argv end

set -x NVM_DIR ~/.nvm nvm use default –silent Then source the config.fish file:

source ~/.config/fish/config.fish List out added aliases I found this handy function on Stack Overflow which will list out your functions:

function aliases –description "list all fish aliases";for f in (functions);functions $f | grep \'alias;end;end; Then you save it funcsave aliases and use it:

aliases function c –description 'alias c code .' function g –description 'alias g git' function lss –description 'alias lss ls -lart | sort -k9,9' function ni –description 'alias ni npm i' function nid –description 'alias nid npm i -D' function nig –description 'alias nig npm i -g' function no –description 'alias no npm outdated' function nog –description 'alias nog npm outdated -g –depth=0' function nr –description 'alias nr npm run' function nrb –description 'alias nrb npm run build' function nrd –description 'alias nrd npm run dev' function nrf –description 'alias nrf npm run format' function nrs –description 'alias nrs npm run start' function nug –description 'alias nug npm -g un' function nun –description 'alias nu npm un' function r –description 'alias r cd mnt/d/repos' function yd –description 'alias yd yarn dev' function yg –description 'alias yg yarn go' function ys –description 'alias ys yarn start' The following you can copy pate into fish:

alias c 'code .';funcsave c;alias g 'git';funcsave g;alias lss 'ls -lart | sort -k9,9';funcsave lss;alias ni
