The first solution seemed the most simple and obvious, but it only works once in a new shell. I suppose this is normal, fish probably just tries to define a function once then ignores the file. Isn't a function declaration missing in the then branch?

@vctls You are absolutely correct - My bad! Thanks for pointing that out. If you'd like to make the edit, I'll test it and accept. The function declaration needs to wrap the entire thing, I believe. Otherwise, it would just create the function if you were in that directory when the shell started.

That's right. I suppose the most logical behavior is to have it defined the same way whatever the initial pwd is.
