support for fish shell about k

[reduxionist]

You'll want to make sure there's not much (if anything) in your .profile, .zprofile, and .zshrc so that this is quick (and you'll obviously need zsh installed).

The --no-rcs option (short flag is "-f"), lets you work-around runcoms who haven't been sticking to their diets lately by instructing zsh to parse only the global zshenv and skip all the rest... (There's also a no-glboal-rcs but I find the bloat is usually my own so have little use for it in this context at least.)

@JayTheMarketer If it helps, I've reimplemented k as a binary (in Nim) which you can build/install from here: http://github.com/OldhamMade/ll

It's not 100% feature complete (some sorting options require some changes in the upcoming release of Nim), but I'm using it on a daily basis on macOS without any problems.

This isn't a perfect solution to this problem (since it has to reload everything every time, it's fairly slow), but if you think of zsh scripts like python/ruby/node scripts, it makes sense:

Define a new function/alias (you can use the builtins funced and funcsave) with this in it:

function k --description 'List contents of directory, like ls but better'
	zsh -c ". /path/to/supercrabtree/k/k.sh; k $argv"
end

You'll want to make sure there's not much (if anything) in your .profile, .zprofile, and .zshrc so that this is quick (and you'll obviously need zsh installed).

@supercrabtree would you be interested in a PR to add this to the readme?

Hey, I don't really have time to do this. But if you get a chance to reimplement what is here for fish shell I will happily link to that version in the docs.

Again, nowhere near a perfect solution (or really any solution), but...

There is another package implemented via a ruby gem (and therefore shell agnostic) called athityakumar/colorls that provides ls with fontawesome icons and also includes git status.

My current function is

function k
    colorls --long --almost-all --sort-dirs --git-status $argv
end

I know this solves nothing in the long run because I do prefer the real k, but it works in a pinch until we can port it over to fish.

	zsh -c ". /path/to/supercrabtree/k/k.sh; k $argv"
end

This worked brilliantly, no fuss, no muss.
