    Why is that? You can still use bash to interpret your bash scripts. Where does it annoy you?

      I have to switch to bash first, and wonder days later, why I can’t find it (obviously) in my fish history.

        I mean, doesn’t the script have a hash bang pointing to the bash interpreter?

        #!/usr/bin/bash
        

        Or you can just run it like:

        bash script.sh

          #!/usr/bin/env bash for compability. 😉

          For example on my system bash is in /bin.

            Right, of course. I already do that with Python scripts, but with bash old habits die hard, I guess. :)

            Huh. It’s the first thing I write in any script. :) It actually saves me time.
