fish+rvm
========
Since rvm is a large collection of bash scripts and fish is not bash-compatible,
users of fish need a wrapper around rvm to make it work properly with that shell.
Since rvm just manipulates environment variables, we just need a way to preserve
those changes.
Install
-------
Install rvm [as you would for use with bash](http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/).
When running the `rvm-install` command, feel free to ignore the advice under the
"You must now finish the install manually" section.
Setup
-----
Download the fish functions from GitHub, the first a utility function to capture the
changes to environment variables, the second a wrapper around rvm for fish.
set -l GITHUB http://github.com/eventualbuddha/fish-nuggets/raw/master/functions
curl -o ~/.config/fish/functions/__bash_env_to_fish.fish $GITHUB/__bash_env_to_fish.fish
curl -o ~/.config/fish/functions/rvm.fish $GITHUB/rvm.fish
Usage
-----
Use rvm just as you would in bash or zsh as per the instructions on the website,
converting any bashisms to fish as needed.
