Use bash completions in Fish Shell

fish-shell-bash-complete-function.sh

#!/usr/bin/fish

# You can add this to your ~/.config/fish/config.fish

function __fish_complete_bash
    set cmd (commandline -cp)
    bash -c "source get-bash-completions.sh; get_completions '$cmd'"
end

# Set the tool to use bash completions
complete -xc git -a '(__fish_complete_bash)'
complete -xc gdbus -a '(__fish_complete_bash)'
complete -xc java -a '(__fish_complete_bash)'

# You could also apply this to all the completions, maybe ignoring the fish ones via
for completion in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/*
    complete -xc (basename $completion) -a '(__fish_complete_bash)'
end

    # execute completion function

Setting this up and trying with fish I get error:
get-bash-completions.sh: line 33: _completion_loader: command not found

Using macOS 12.2 (21D49)

silly quesiton, how do I use it?

use carapace

@JumpIn-Git Thank you for the carapace suggestion!

I don't really like the documentation, but once set up it worked like a charm for me! Now I can install bash completions and use them as-is in fish!
