Command not found fish_git_prompt in terminal

I am getting this weird error fish_git_prompt in my shell each and every time. Even when I clear my terminal it reappears every time. I have searched the internet and tried the solutions but everything inside the fish functions is right. I don't know how to solve these issues please give me a solution for this.

I have attached my error below:

fish: Unknown command: fish_git_prompt
/usr/share/fish/functions/fish_vcs_prompt.fish (line 4):
fish_git_prompt $argv

end

DId you already try to use a completely untouched config.fish ?

I did not make any changes to the config.fish file.

Think about it again.

Maybe you already checked and tried this, anyway:

  • Have you checked if you do have /usr/share/fish/functions/fish_git_prompt.fish owned by root and possibly with date like the other files (so likely not changed)?
  • Have you tried simply reinstalling fish ?

Well, if it is still not solved, reinstall the latest iso. It is workaround, not a solution. But there need not to be solution to every issue.
