This makes it so we link to the very top of the document instead of a special anchor we manually include. So clicking e.g. :doc:`string <cmds/string>` will link you to cmds/string.html instead of cmds/string.html#cmd-string. I would love to have a way to say "this document from the root of the document path", but that doesn't appear to work, I tried `/cmds/string`. So we'll just have to use cmds/string in normal documents and plain `string` from other commands.

Commands
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This is a list of all the commands fish ships with.
|
|
|
|
Broadly speaking, these fall into a few categories:
|
|
|
|
Keywords
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Core language keywords that make up the syntax, like
|
|
|
|
- :doc:`if <cmds/if>` for conditions.
|
|
- :doc:`for <cmds/for>` and :doc:`while <cmds/while>` for loops.
|
|
- :doc:`break <cmds/break>` and :doc:`continue <cmds/continue>` to control loops.
|
|
- :doc:`function <cmds/function>` to define functions.
|
|
- :doc:`return <cmds/return>` to return a status from a function.
|
|
- :doc:`begin <cmds/begin>` to begin a block and :doc:`end <cmds/end>` to end any block (including ifs and loops).
|
|
- :doc:`and <cmds/and>`, :doc:`or <cmds/or>` and :doc:`not <cmds/not>` to combine commands logically.
|
|
- :doc:`switch <cmds/switch>` and :doc:`case <cmds/case>` to make multiple blocks depending on the value of a variable.
|
|
|
|
Decorations
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Command decorations are keywords like :doc:`command <cmds/command>` or :doc:`builtin <cmds/builtin>` to tell fish what sort of thing to execute, and :doc:`time <cmds/time>` to time its execution. :doc:`exec <cmds/exec>` tells fish to replace itself with the command.
|
|
|
|
Tools to do a task
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Builtins to do a task, like
|
|
|
|
- :doc:`cd <cmds/cd>` to change the current directory.
|
|
- :doc:`echo <cmds/echo>` or :doc:`printf <cmds/printf>` to produce output.
|

|
|
- :doc:`argparse <cmds/argparse>` to make arguments easier to handle.
|
|
- :doc:`count <cmds/count>` to count arguments.
|
|
- :doc:`type <cmds/type>` to find out what sort of thing (command, builtin or function) fish would call, or if it exists at all.
|
|
- :doc:`test <cmds/test>` checks conditions like if a file exists or a string is empty.
|
|
- :doc:`contains <cmds/contains>` to see if a list contains an entry.
|
|
- :doc:`abbr <cmds/abbr>` manages :ref:`abbreviations`.
|
|
- :doc:`eval <cmds/eval>` and :doc:`source <cmds/source>` to run fish code from a string or file.
|
|
- :doc:`set_color <cmds/set_color>` to colorize your output.
|
|

|
|
- :doc:`bind <cmds/bind>` to change bindings.
|
|
- :doc:`commandline <cmds/commandline>` to get or change the commandline contents.
|
|
- :doc:`fish_config <cmds/fish_config>` to easily change fish's configuration, like the prompt or colorscheme.

|
|
|
|
Known functions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Known functions are a customization point. You can change them to change how your fish behaves. This includes:
|
|
|
|
- :doc:`fish_prompt <cmds/fish_prompt>` and :doc:`fish_right_prompt <cmds/fish_right_prompt>` and :doc:`fish_mode_prompt <cmds/fish_mode_prompt>` to print your prompt.
|
|
- :doc:`fish_command_not_found <cmds/fish_command_not_found>` to tell fish what to do when a command is not found.
|
|
- :doc:`fish_title <cmds/fish_title>` to change the terminal's title.
|
|
- :doc:`fish_greeting <cmds/fish_greeting>` to show a greeting when fish starts.
|
|
|
|
Helper functions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Some helper functions, often to give you information for use in your prompt:
|
|
|
|
- :doc:`fish_git_prompt <cmds/fish_git_prompt>` and :doc:`fish_hg_prompt <cmds/fish_hg_prompt>` to print information about the current git or mercurial repository.
|
|
- :doc:`fish_vcs_prompt <cmds/fish_vcs_prompt>` to print information for either.

|
|
- :doc:`prompt_hostname <cmds/prompt_hostname>` to give the hostname, shortened for use in the prompt.
|
|
- :doc:`fish_is_root_user <cmds/fish_is_root_user>` to check if the current user is an administrator user like root.

|
|
|
|
Helper commands
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
fish also ships some things as external commands so they can be easily called from elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
This includes :doc:`fish_indent <cmds/fish_indent>` to format fish code and :doc:`fish_key_reader <cmds/fish_key_reader>` to show you what escape sequence a keypress produces.
