Adding pass completion to fish shell

command linefishpassword

I'm trying to get the CLI password manager pass to work in my fish shell with auto completion. I've already found the necessary file, yet am having trouble finding out where to put it, or rather getting it to work. So far I've added it to:

~/.config/fish/pass.fish
~/.config/fish/completions/pass.fish
and added the content to my ~/.config/fish/config.fish file.

with no success.

The second option listed (~/.config/fish/completions/pass.fish) is the preferred approach. The third should also work.

I tried the following:

Put the file at ~/.config/fish/completions/pass.fish
Type pass followed by a space
Hit tab

And I see completions from that file.

It's possible that fish is looking somewhere else. Try echo $fish_complete_path and verify that it includes ~/.config/fish/completions/ . If it does not, you can put back the defaults by erasing it and starting a new session: set -e fish_complete_path.

Fish Shell – Equivalent of Bash’s Process Substitution “<(command)"

The <() and >() constructs are known as "process substitution". I don't use fish, but according to its documentation, it doesn't directly support this:

Subshells, command substitution and process substitution are strongly related. fish only supports command substitution, the others can be achieved either using a block or the psub shellscript function.

Indeed, psub seems to be what you want:

## bash
$ seq 10 | grep -f <(seq 4 5)
4
5

## fish
~> seq 10 | grep -f (seq 4 5 | psub)
4
5
