About:
Babelfish is a transpiler that converts bash scripts into fish shell syntax. It enables developers to leverage existing bash scripts within a fish environment without manual rewriting. This tool simplifies migrating shell configurations and scripts between different Unix shells.
Key Features:
  • Automatic transpilation from bash to fish syntax
  • Preserves logic and functionality during conversion
  • Integrates with the fish shell via a vendor function
  • Supports a wide range of bash constructs
Use Cases:
  • Migrating existing bash scripts to a fish-based workflow
  • Using third-party bash utilities in a fish shell environment
  • Automating shell configuration conversion
Alternatives:
  • bash – Bash is the source language; Babelfish allows running bash logic inside fish without switching shells.
  • fish – Fish is the target language; Babelfish bridges the syntax gap between the two.
