I keep getting an error when I cd to my project root directory that is on github:
> cd ~/go/src/github.com/mygithub/myapp
The below message auto pops up because I am using tide prompt which links with github status.
> exec: Failed to execute process '/usr/bin/git': An argument or exported variable exceeds the OS argument length limit.
I don't have many args in my fish_path
❯ echo $PATH

❯ cat config.fish

fish_add_path /opt/flutter/bin
fish_add_path /usr/bin/flutter

I don't have the set -U... line in my .config file as indicated by a similar issue on github fish/issues.
How do I fix this?

If I hit return on the bottom line teh error message repeats. The gitmain part reads the github status as part of tide prompt.
I repeated in bash and everything worked. I removed the tide prompt:
fisher install IlanCosman/tide@v5
and everything works....
I reinstalled tide and the problem reappeared.
Looks like it is a either a tide issue or something in my tide config. I will follow up with them on github.
Thanks all for your time.
printenv | awk -F= '{k=$1; $1=""; print k,length() }' | sort -nrk2 | headso we can see the longest variable values in your environment. – terdon Apr 04 '23 at 23:28fish_traceenvironment variable to 1, fish will output the commands which are run, and you can figure out which one has too many arguments. – ridiculous_fish Apr 05 '23 at 00:15fish_tracedid not show any obvious errors. Thanks for the pointer. See my answer. Looks like it has to do withtide. – chuckd833 Apr 05 '23 at 00:55
