Using `go` with fish shell

Question

I am struggling with running go in the fish shell .

A) I followed the installation procedure and installed go as specified in the documentation

However, when I run go version , I am getting a fatal error:

fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

When I initialize the git by git init , I receive another error:

error: pathspec 'version' did not match any file(s) known to git

I have the paths configured in my fish config as follows:

set -gx GOPATH /home/<user>/go
set -gx PATH $PATH /usr/local/bin/go $GOPATH/bin

where /usr/local/bin/go is an output of which go in both bash and fish

Running it like bash -c 'go version' , however, works without any problems (even without the git directory).

B) Also tried gofish and dnf to install go, the same results

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Additional info:

• Fish version: fish, version 3.0.2
• Operating system: Linux t460s 5.0.13-300.fc30.x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Answer 1

Could this be some kind of alias that is used instead? The error message is an error from the git binary.

Take a look in your file ~/.config/fish/config.fish and see if you find an alias there. If you do not find anything there look at the files in ~/.config/fish/ and subfolders.
