Comment on fish shell

Comments

One of my favourite features: a single configuration file. No more .bashrc and .bash_profile .

However, it seems like Fish is not fully POSIX-compatible, therefore you can face weird problems in Vim plugins, for example.

I just leave bash as my system shell and just configure my terminal emulator to start with fish.

In your .vimrc, insert at the top:

set shell=/bin/sh

No more problems with plugins in fish.
