Howdy, author here. fish doesn't have aliases, only functions. 'alias' is itself a function, which looks like it has a bug. I filed https://github.com/ridiculousfish/fishfish/issues/48 to track this. (The usual way a fish user would add this function would be to put a file 'foo.fish' in ~/.config/fish/functions, or to use 'funced fish' to create one interactively.) As for your infinite loop - fish certainly does not execute all functions when it sources the file. I wasn't able to reproduce your problem. Can you explain how you added this function? Thanks!
