I would like to define some aliases in fish. Apparently it should be possible to define them in

~/.config/fish/functions

but they don't get auto loaded when I restart the shell. Any ideas?

p.s. if anyone is using or has used fish in the past I'd be interested to hear your comments as to whether it offers anything that bash does not.
