.. _cmd-fish_config: fish_config - start the web-based configuration interface ========================================================= Synopsis -------- :: fish_config fish_config browse fish_config prompt (choose | list | save | show) Description ----------- ``fish_config`` is used to configure fish. Without arguments or with the ``browse`` command it starts the web-based configuration interface. The web interface allows you to view your functions, variables and history, and to make changes to your prompt and color configuration. It starts a local web server and opens a browser window. When you are finished, close the browser window and press the Enter key to terminate the configuration session. If the ``BROWSER`` environment variable is set, it will be used as the name of the web browser to open instead of the system default. With the ``prompt`` command ``fish_config`` can be used to view and choose a prompt from fish's sample prompts inside the terminal directly. Available subcommands for the ``prompt`` command: - ``choose`` loads a sample prompt in the current session. - ``list`` lists the names of the available sample prompts. - ``save`` saves the current prompt to a file (via :ref:`funcsave `). - ``show`` shows what the given sample prompts (or all) would look like. Example ------- ``fish_config`` or ``fish_config browse`` opens a new web browser window and allows you to configure certain fish settings. ``fish_config prompt show`` demos the available sample prompts. ``fish_config prompt choose disco`` makes the disco prompt the prompt for the current session. This can also be used in :ref:`config.fish ` to set the prompt. ``fish_config prompt save`` saves the current prompt to an :ref:`autoloaded ` file. ``fish_config prompt save default`` chooses the default prompt and saves it.
