#Troubleshooting / F.A.Q.

#Why no database?

To follow the KISS principle and to rely entirely on basic shell operations.

#fish: The expanded command was empty.

You have not set your environment editor variable, which usually points to an lightweight cli editor like vi or nano. Either set it permanent with set -U EDITOR (**your editor**) or session wide with set EDITOR (**your editor**) in your ~/.config/fish/config.fish.
