Fish shell: how to disable "git status" in prompt? - fish

I love Fish shows me "git status" in the prompt. However, it doesn't work well for really large git repos because it's very slow. How can I disable this feature based on the directory's name? Thanks!

Here's what I did. You need to replace those <REPO>
function fish_prompt
set last_status $status
set_color $fish_color_cwd
printf '%s ' (prompt_pwd)
set_color normal
set BIG_REPOS <REPO1> <REPO2> <REPO3>
if not contains (basename $PWD) $BIG_REPOS
printf '%s ' (__fish_git_prompt)
end
set_color normal
end

How to remove trailing newline from command arguments in fish?

As far as I know, in fish as well as in many other command lines, the return statement is reserved for success/failure codes, and the standard way to 'return a string' is to echo the result like this:
function format-commit-message
echo e2e-new: $argv[1]
echo
echo "Jira: APP-1234"
end
However, this means that all such strings end with a newline character. I tried to remove it because that is the commit message policy:
git commit -m ( format-commit-message "new commit" | string split0 | strig sub -e -1 )
But the result is:
fatal: empty string is not a valid pathspec. please use . instead if you meant to match all paths
Could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Use echo's -n parameter to omit the newline.

Use multipe emacs modes in one file

I have a question about using the emacs modes within a shell script. It's often so, that I wrote just some pieces of code in PHP for example like this:
#!/bin/ksh
export FILENAME=$1
php -r '
$xml = new SimpleXmlIterator(getenv("FILENAME"), null, true);
echo "//" . $xml->attributes()["name"] . "\n";
echo "struct " . $sxi->attributes()["type"] . " {\n";
php blabla
'
cat FILENAME | while read x
do
.... shell blabla
Because of the shebang the emacs mode is forced to shell mode, which is correct.
But is there a trick to use the php mode "within" the part where php code is written?
(without to kick out the php in its own script)

Why is fish 3.0 printing an error message on start?

I recently upgraded to fish 3.0.1 via Homebrew 2.0.1 on MacOS Mojave 10.14.2. Since the upgrade, the following error message appears every time fish starts:

What's going on here? How can I fix this?
What happens here is that a component of your $PATH, $fish_user_paths or a line in /etc/paths looks like an option.
Most likely, this is wrong, and you should remove it.
E.g. try printf '%s\n' $fish_user_paths. If that tells you that one of the entries is "-gx", then you've set it incorrectly and need to use set -e fish_user_paths[number-of-that-entry] to correct it.
Since these are all common options to set, you've probably once done something like set fish_user_paths /something -gx, which adds a "-gx" component (set only reads options before the variable name).
This has been reported upstream at https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/5662, and future fish versions won't spew an error, but the existence of the offending component is most likely an error, so you still want to remove it.

What are fish shell command-line ui patterns?

I want to construct an ui similar to what git have git <command> [<param1> ...]. What I came up with so far is:
function git -d "Description"
switch $argv[1]
case branch
git_branch $argv[2]
case reset
git_reset
end
end
function git_branch -d "Description for branch"
do_something $argv[1]
end
function git_reset -d "Description for reset"
do_something_else
end
It works, but there are couple problems:
1. Fish doesn't pick up available commands for auto-completion;
2. If I run git with no arguments it wouldn't print out list of command, neither it would pick up descriptions for them.
It appears to me that what I'm doing is not the "right" way to construct command-line utilities with fish. So, what is the right way?
Maybe your problems occur because you don't have a default branch if your switch statement, so you never call out to the actual git command. Try:
function git -d "Description"
switch $argv[1]
case branch
git_branch $argv[2]
case reset
git_reset
case '*'
command git $argv
end
end
To protect against the case where zero arguments are provided, I do this:
function git -d "Description"
set -q argv[1]
and switch $argv[1]
case branch
git_branch $argv[2]
return
case reset
git_reset
return
end
command git $argv
end

Fish $EDITOR interaction

How can I launch the currently configured editor from the fish shell? That is the editor associated with $EDITOR.
What would a function look like that takes input from the pipeline and opens it in the editor identified by $EDITOR.
What would a function look like that opens a path in $EDITOR from the argument list?
How about something like:
function edit -d "Open a file using $EDITOR"
for file in $argv
if test -e $file
eval $EDITOR $file
echo "Opening file $file"
else
echo "Create file? (y/n)"
read createFile
if test $createFile = "y"
eval $EDITOR -n $file
echo "Creating file $file"
end
end
end
end
