.. _cmd-exit: exit - exit the shell ===================== Synopsis -------- exit [STATUS] Description ----------- ``exit`` causes fish to exit. If ``STATUS`` is supplied, it will be converted to an integer and used as the exit code. Otherwise, the exit code will be that of the last command executed. If exit is called while sourcing a file (using the :ref:`source ` builtin) the rest of the file will be skipped, but the shell itself will not exit.
