Fish shell support

does binary refinery supports fish shell?

Thanks.

Hi! I use Fish shell with Binary Refinery. It works great for me, but there are a few things to be aware of:

• The emit command in Binary Refinery collides with the emit command in fish. Therefore, you may wish to install Binary Refinery with a prefix, as detailed in the README, or you may wish to alias emit. This issue has more details: Fish support #22

• There are some special characters that Binary Refinery uses, that fish also uses.

See the following information about special characters used in the Fish shell language:
https://fishshell.com/docs/current/language.html#escaping-characters:~:text=The%20special%20characters%20and%20their%20escape%20sequences%20are%3A

In practice the main one I've run into trouble with (like, once) is that curly braces, which are used by Binary Refinery are sometimes special in fish:

Hi there,

My apologies for the delayed response. I'm glad to hear that Refinery supports the Fish shell. However, I encountered an issue when trying to install it with a prefix—the shell didn't recognize the prefix. Is there a specific way to install it with a prefix? I followed the instructions in the README, but it didn't work. Here are the steps I followed:

python -m venv binary-refinery
source binary-refinery/bin/activate.fish
set -x REFINERY_PREFIX r.
pip install -U binary-refinery

Out of curiosity, what is the result? Are there no shims installed at all, or does it indeed install the units without a prefix? Can you find anything on your machine named r.emit after the installation has concluded?

I also just found #22 and it seems like a prefix worked fine in that case. I am not sure why a prefix would not work in fish, there's very little magic happening here - the contents of the environment variable are simply prepended to the names of the command line shims that the refinery setup generates.
