Why "alias" is my last resort for aliases

I prefer scripts to real aliases when defining a custom command.

I’ve done something similiar to this over the years for organization purposes and not having to change much between shells except add a path. You can also add cases that check your shell and do something slightly different if needed.

    this is my sticking point with fish. I still need to know bash for writing portable scripts, so its hard to justify scripting in fish.
