# ❄️🐟 Nix.fish
[Fish](https://fishshell.com/) port of [`~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh`](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/scripts/nix-profile.sh.in) which sets up [Nix](https://nixos.org/) environment.
## Installation
- [plug.fish](https://github.com/kidonng/plug.fish)
```sh
plug install kidonng/nix.fish
```
- [Fisher](https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fisher)
```sh
fisher install kidonng/nix.fish
```
## Differences from [nix-env.fish](https://github.com/lilyball/nix-env.fish)
### Works with [`nix shell`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-shell.html) / [`nix-shell`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-shell.html)
Nix.fish checks `$PATH` for `/nix/store/*` and respects [`$fish_user_paths`](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/fish_add_path.html?highlight=fish_user_paths) thus:
- `$PATH` is always set up correctly
- `conf.d`, function and completion scripts are loaded on the fly.
### Faster shell startup
Nix.fish is pure fish, while nix-env.fish starts Bash to capture environment variables and hence slower.
### Doesn't replicate [`__fish_build_paths.fish`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/09c38c29f2c719cd76ca17a596c2fdac9e186ceb/pkgs/shells/fish/default.nix#L76-L117)
`__fish_build_paths.fish` handles vendored fish scripts from Nixpkgs. It's error-prone to replicate its logic when it is present.
**If fish isn't installed from Nixpkgs, consider `nix-env.fish` instead.**
