Fish: Unknown command: '##'

Hi.

I already saw this thread: "Fish: Unknown command: '##' Error".
My problem is the same, but I can't fix it.
It's only when I open fish.

fish: Unknown command: '##'
~/.config/fish/config.fish (line 1):
?>>?## Set values
^
from sourcing file ~/.config/fish/config.fish
called during startup

This is ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

## Set values
# Hide welcome message
set fish_greeting
set VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT "1"
set -x MANPAGER "sh -c 'col -bx | bat -l man -p'"

# Set settings for https://github.com/franciscolourenco/done
set -U __done_min_cmd_duration 10000

Deleting first line "## Set values" just make:

fish: Unknown command: '#'
~/.config/fish/config.fish (line 1):
?>>?# Hide welcome message

from sourcing file ~/.config/fish/config.fish
called during startup

Idk what I did for cause this, It is almost a fresh install
Thank you for any help

Just try

cp /etc/skel/.config/fish/config.fish /home/$USER/.config/fish/config.fish

or copy all from line 2 - last line.
Paste in linux text program, mouspad, geany, gedit, kate ...
then save the file as ~/.config/fish/config.fish

There is a format error from non linux conform text app.

Sorry for my English :wink: and

:slight_smile:

I tried that. Problem persist

Copy this text from the post (that you have posted) and paste it in a new file. Save it as your broken one and test for errors.

Ok, fixed.

mv ~/.config/fish/config.fish ~/.config/fish/config.fish_broken
and then
kate ~/.config/fish/config.fish
(saving config.fish empty)
opened fish with no errors.

then I pasted the content of config.fish_broken to config.fish and everything works just fine.

Thank you a lot!
