Where does fish_config save its settings?
I've used the fish_config
utility to customize my syntax color scheme and now I want to copy these settings to remote servers I can't run fish_config
on. Where does it save the changes made through that utility?
Some settings, such as the color theme, are stored as universal variables. Run set -U
to see them.
Note that at the moment universal variables are stored in a file whose name is unique to each host. In the upcoming fish 3.0.0 release we're going to make that file truly global so that simply copying your ~/.config/fish
directory tree to another machine will install items like your color theme. See this issue for more details.
At the moment you need to use set -U | grep fish_color_
on the machine having the theme you like and do set -U
of each var on the target machine. A bit of a pain in the ass we admit.
The prompt is saved as an autoloaded function in ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish
.
