fish: Start an interactive shell session in private mode, where the shell does not access old history or save new history.
$ fish --private
try on your machine

The command "fish --private" launches the Fish shell in private mode.

The Fish shell is a command-line shell and scripting language that provides a user-friendly and interactive experience. In private mode, Fish operates in a restricted environment where it does not save command history and variables to disk.

This can be useful when you need to work in a temporary environment or when you want to ensure that your commands and data are not stored for privacy or security reasons.

By executing "fish --private" in the command line, you initiate a new Fish shell session in private mode.
