Fish shell is my shell of choice and having it setup as default on the Mac requires some extra steps.

When homebrew is installed, run brew install fish.

After that, edit /etc/shells and add fish to it:

# sudo edit /etc/shells

Add the bottom of the file add:

/opt/homebrew/bin/fish

Then set the shell as default with:

chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/fish

It does require logging again to be activated.

Happy Fish shell user for years, but I’m never able to remember how to set an environment variable for a single command. Maybe I’ll remember if I write it down:

env SOME_VAR=1 command
