Fish Shell With Starship on Windows Git Bash

Why go through all these steps? Make things easier and simply use the 4devs menu in 🚀 All-win-1 🚀 to get it done effortlessly

Old/Manual Mode

To install fish shell on Windows Git Bash, install Git and MSYS executing the following commands in powershell:

BACKGROUND (WHY?)

I switch dev-environments every single year with each customer having their own setup. Git on Linux and MacOSX just works most of the time - there are some SSH keys needed to be setup, but "sudo apt-get" or "brew install" mostly does the trick.

Git for Windows is a box a sourcery, so when you install that you will get a version of slim MSYS2, MinGW64 and most importantly bash and git that runs from the bash. This is what you need 9 out of 10 times, if you ONLY need to use git to manage your source and then use other/external toolchains like VS Code, VS2022 or Windows Powershell or Command to compile your sh.ttt I mean stuff.

Then that 10th out of 10 times, you want to compile windows applications from the same terminal that you run git - just like you do on linux or OSX. If you are running Windows alone then having two terminals, one for git (with mingw64/msys2) and one for your ms whatever the compiler name is for C++.

Using fish shell with git bash on windows

To install fish shell on windows the options are:

Cygwin
WSL
MSYS2

Since git bash is based on MSYS2 it seems a good fit to install fish. The problem is that git bash is a lightweight version of MSYS2 which does not include pacman as a package management, used to install fish.

This OS thread has great suggestions on how to solve this problem including using the full MSYS2. But the best solution for me was this answer by Michael Chen which installs pacman on git bash.

Why?

I recently made a fresh install of windows and all the tools I needed to develop software including git-for-windows. Unfortunatnly git-for-windows doesn't come with a packagemanager buildt in and going full cygwin seems a little overkill. After some research I ran in to this post on stackoverflow describing a way to install pacman in to git-for-windows. Unfortuntly only "most of it" worked in my case. This document attempts to describe the entire process I went through to install pacman.

Prepare

The packages in the MSYS2 repositoy seem to be packaged using zstd now and not xz as described. Obviously it would be great to use a package manager to install zstd and un-tar the files... Given that this guide is geared towards windows installs you can install 7zip and add the Modern7z plugins to unpack zstd files.

Downloading and unpacking the neccesary packages

Using Exp for zooming

One of the things I’m happiest to have learned in the past few months is a great use for Log + Exp in games when zooming in and out.

You may have already know that linear speeds work horribly for zooming, e.g.:

void Update() {
    scale = scale + speed * Time.deltaTime;
}

Important! This guide is out of date (circa 2017) and should no longer be used. For the latest advice, please refer to the BootstrapVue docs and their Nuxt.js module. https://bootstrap-vue.org/docs#nuxt-js

General setup:

Install bootstrap as a dev dependency, and its dependencies (node-sass and sass-loader) npm install --save-dev [email protected] node-sass sass-loader

You must use the magic method %save:
