Extra common utilities for Fish 🐟

Welcome to fish-x, a Fish shell plugin that enhances your shell experience with upgraded commands on top of regular commands. Typically normal commands that ends with x.

• mkdirx - Make a directory and cd into it.
• touchx - Touch a new file and open in preferred editor.
• gclx - Git clone a repository and cd into it.

This plugin has no intention to wrap around normal commands. E.g. wrap around mkdir to make it auto cd. There might be alot internal use cases for these common commands. Just type an x for a slight quality of improvement in life.
