How to get each argument in Fish script/function.
- to get all arguments as one string/text, use
$argv. - to get first argument, use
$argv[1]. - to get second argument, use
$argv[2]. - to get the function name or the script name, use
$argv[0]. - to the remaining three arguments after two :
myfunc one two three four five, use$argv[3..-1]as-1is the end of arguments. - to echo/print the arguments, use
evallike thiseval $argv[3..-1].
For example, I created gitp Fish function to shorten the git steps.
function gitp --description "gitp <message>"
git add -Av
git commit -m $argv
git push
end
