`export` is `set -x` in fish. Without quotes you get a list which when
exported is joined with a colon; useful for $PATH but not $EDITOR:
$ set -x EDITOR 'sublime -w'
$PATH is a list in fish and when you use a list as an unquoted part of an
argument you get a cartesian product, similar to brace expansion:
$ echo PATH=$PATH
PATH=/bin PATH=/sbin
Obviously not what you want in this case. If you quote a list variable
it's joined with a space:
$ echo "PATH=$PATH"
PATH=/bin /sbin
Not what you want either. If you don't have any spaces in any of the items
in your $PATH you can just substitute space for colon:
$ echo "PATH=$PATH" | tr ' ' :
PATH=/bin:/sbin
Redirecting output to a file and chmod is the same as in zsh, but note that
config.fish is sourced even when running scripts and with fish -c. You may
want to check if the shell is interactive:
if status --is-interactive
do-the-above
end
Hope that helps!
