fish: Check a specific script for syntax errors.
$ fish --no-execute ${path-to-script-fish}
try on your machine

This command is used to execute a Fish script without actually running it.

Here's a breakdown of what each part of the command does:

  • fish: This is the command to run the Fish shell.
  • --no-execute: This option tells Fish to not execute the script, but instead just parse and validate it for any syntax errors or issues.
  • ${path-to-script-fish}: This is the path to the Fish script file you want to validate. You need to replace ${path-to-script-fish} with the actual file path.

By running this command, Fish will check the specified script file for any errors or problems, without actually executing its commands. This can be useful to ensure the script is syntactically correct before actually running it.

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.
