Fish Shell, how to remove the welcome message
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
How to remove the “HWelcome to fish, the friendly interactive shell” message in Fish Shell
I had this “problem”.
When I opened my shells, I had these 3 lines show up every time.
It’s a Fish Shell default.
I wanted to remove them.
Here’s how I did it.
I opened ~/.config/fish/config.fish
code ~/.config/fish/config.fish
Where I had this content:
if status is-interactive
# Commands to run in interactive sessions can go here
end
fish_add_path /opt/homebrew/opt/node@16/bin
And I added set fish_greeting ""
at the bottom:
if status is-interactive
# Commands to run in interactive sessions can go here
end
fish_add_path /opt/homebrew/opt/node@16/bin
set fish_greeting ""
Here’s my prompt now:
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
