Variables whose name are in uppercase are exported to the commands started by fish, while those in lowercase are not exported. This rule is not enforced by fish, but it is good coding practice to use casing to distinguish between exported and unexported variables. `fish` also uses several variables internally. Such variables are prefixed with the string `__FISH` or `__fish.` These should never be used by the user. Changing their value may break fish. |
