Welcome to fish, the friendly interactive shell

I have been using the fish shell recently. I have it tweaked some, and one day (probably after an update), I started to get this message:
Not sure why I need a greeting every time, don’t want it. So I found two ways to disable this functionality:
1. Create an Empty Function File
The method I chose was to create an empty file at $HOME/.config/fish/functions/fish_greeting.fish.
2. Update config.fish
Adding this line to your config.fish file will suppress the message:
set fish_greeting
That’s all you should need to do. Enjoy the quieter prompt.
