Fish shell, a popular user-friendly command-line shell, has announced version 4.2, a new release that builds on the 4.0 series. Among the most visible improvements is an upgrade to history-based autosuggestions, which now properly handle multi-line commands.

Fish 4.2 also improves how prompts are managed: transient prompts that contain more lines than the final one are now cleared properly, preventing visual clutter on screen. Similarly, the shell now hides parts of a multi-line prompt that have scrolled out of view, eliminating duplicated lines after repainting.

In fish, man export:

export is a function included for compatibility with POSIX shells. In general, the set <> builtin should be used instead. When called without arguments, export prints a list of currently-exported variables, like set -x.

So it's not really a proper built-in command, but a wrapper around set. But for all intents and purposes... ๐Ÿ‘
