Execute commands for multiple files using fish (danielrotter.at)

Quite often I want to execute the same command for multiple files. It is quite easy to achieve that using the fish shell, once you get the hang of it.

This isn't just a fish thing, it works with bash, zsh, etc too

That's true, but the syntax is different then. In this blog post I cover fish, and I didn't intent to say that this cannot be done in other shells (and I think I never said so).

Oh, thanks for the clarification!

Pretty unrelated, but I just wanted to say that I love how bash scripting uses if to open an if statement and fi to close it... makes me giggle every time lol
