  1. Open Terminal and launch Fish Shell by typing fish.

  2. Type set -x PATH /path/to/your/directory:$PATH to set the path to the directory where the exports file is located. Replace /path/to/your/directory with the actual path to the directory.

  3. Type cd /path/to/your/directory to navigate to the directory, where the exports file is located.

  4. Create a new file named .exports by typing touch .exports.

  5. Open the .exports file in a text editor, e.g. nano or vim.

  6. Add your exports using the export command, followed by the variable name and its value. Here's an example:

export MY_VAR="Hello World"
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
  1. Save the file and exit the text editor.

  2. Type source ~/.config/fish/config.fish to reload Fish Shell's configuration file.

  3. Type echo $MY_VAR to verify that the variable has been exported successfully.

  4. Congratulations, you have successfully configured exports in Fish Shell!
