👩‍🎓 TIL About Fish abbr

Every day is a learning opportunity. I’m a fish shell user for about 8 years now. Don’t even know any more why I made the switch. But here I am 😄

Today I learned about a very nice feature… abbr.

“abbr manages abbreviations - user-defined words that are replaced with longer phrases when entered.”

Example. I want to have “aliases”, but don’t want to see the alias in my history, but rather the real command.

$ abbr kgp kubectl get pods
$ abbr kgn kubectl get nodes

When typing one of those, following by Space or Enter, the real command will be expanded, and thus, end up in your history.

Thanks @justingarrison for the hint in How I use kubectl!
