I've recently moved from the zsh to the fish shell but I occasionally still stumble upon some incompatibilities. Right now I'm trying to install virtualenv-burrito but it fails at the $SHELL command. How can I get around this?
The command is:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brainsik/virtualenv-burrito/master/virtualenv-burrito.sh | $SHELL
The surface problem is that fish deliberately doesn't allow commands to be variables, and therefore piping to $SHELL is not allowed.
However, the deeper problem is that virtualenvwrapper is only for Bourne compatible shells, so even if it's installed it won't work with fish. Instead you can use virtualfish.
