This is a reminder to self, for those times when you just gotta have vim and fishdots on a recent version of fish shell (and someone upstream has completely screwed up the CA certificates so you can’t use apt or linuxbrew because they can’t be configured to relax cacert security).
First, create a place for them to live
mkdir -p ~/bin; cd /tmp
Now get fish shell
wget --no-check-certificate https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/shells:/fish:/nightly:/master/AppImage/fish-latest-x86_64.AppImage chmod a+x fish-latest-x86_64.AppImage ./fish-latest-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract mv ./squashfs-root/ ~/bin/fish_root abbr -a fish ~/bin/fish_root/AppRun
Then download neovim
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/v0.4.3/nvim.appimage chmod u+x nvim.appimage ./nvim.appimage --appimage-extract mv ./squashfs-root/ ~/bin/nvim_root abbr -a nvim ~/bin/nvim_root/AppRun
Lovely. Now you have the one true shell and the one true editor. All’s well with the world.
