fish: Execute a specific script.
$ fish ${path-to-script-fish}
try on your machine

The given command fish ${path-to-script-fish} is invoking the fish shell with a specific script file as an argument.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • fish: It is the name of the shell, which is the Friendly Interactive Shell (FISH) in this case. Running the fish command launches a new instance of the FISH shell.

  • ${path-to-script-fish}: This represents the path to the script file being executed by the FISH shell. The actual path needs to be provided instead of ${path-to-script-fish}. It is assumed that the variable path-to-script-fish would be replaced with the correct value. The script file can have any valid name, but it should have the ".fish" file extension, which indicates that it contains FISH shell commands.

By executing the command fish ${path-to-script-fish}, the FISH shell is started, and it executes the commands within the specified script file. The script file can contain a sequence of FISH shell commands, which will be executed in the order they appear in the script.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
