Chips executed with the `--version` argument turns off the fish shell #26

When chips is executed with the --version argument, it turns off the parent fish shell.

Thank you very much for the report.

I've looked into this and found that any argument at all, not only --version, will cause this problem. This is because of the current alias definition we add in ~/.config/chips/build.fish:

alias chips "/home/<username>/.local/bin/chips; exec fish"

Therefore chips --version becomes ...; exec fish --version, and since fish --version will print the fish version and exit immediately, replacing the current shell with exec is equivalent to exiting the shell immediately.

Solved by using function instead of alias
