I almost :) started writing some shell scripts in Fish instead of Bash , but then discovered https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/510 .

This seems like a massive feature gap in Fish, at least to me. I CANNOT LIVE without set -e in Bash. ALL my scripts everywhere have that (code search seems to miss a lot of them).

Fish is great as an interactive Shell, but without this feature, I cannot start using it for more scripting.

I don’t see any viable workaround. Ending EACH line with || exit 1 is just… dumb.

Perhaps I’ll have to properly learn and use… what, Python, after all??? :))
