I’ve done something similiar to this over the years for organization purposes and not having to change much between shells except add a path. You can also add cases that check your shell and do something slightly different if needed.

    this is my sticking point with fish. I still need to know bash for writing portable scripts, so its hard to justify scripting in fish.

      that’s actually a really good argument for not using either.

      Taking a step back discussing shells seems like a never ending hell loop.

      Sometimes the only way to win is not to play the game.

      Use python and stop being stuck in the distant past.
