gh @1.12.1 conflicts with fish @3.3.0

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

The gh port tries to install a fish completions file already provided by fish itself:

This conflict should either be marked, or fixed.

Hey cooljeanius, can you ensure you have the very latest ports tree? Current versions of gh do not try to install to /opt/local/share/fish/completions.

Please do a sudo port selfupdate then try to install gh again.

[herbygillot (Herby Gillot)]

I realize you posted the versions of both fish and gh. I think it may be possible that the file in question is an orphan from a previously installed version of gh.

Here's what I recommend. Uninstall both fish and gh, then see if that file is still there. If it is, verify it using port provides:

1. sudo port uninstall fish
2. sudo port uninstall gh
3. Check if /opt/local/share/fish/completions/gh.fish still exists.
4. If it does, do sudo port provides /opt/local/share/fish/completions/gh.fish to see if that file is connected to any port.
5. If it isn't, manually delete it.
6. Then reinstall the latest fish and gh and see if the conflict is resolved.

ok this seems to have been resolved with the latest update to gh; it can be closed
