fg - bring job to foreground — fish-shell 3.6.0 documentation

# fg - bring job to foreground

## Synopsis

    fg [PID]

## Description

The fg builtin brings the specified job to the foreground, resuming it if it is stopped. While a foreground job is executed, fish is suspended. If no job is specified, the last job to be used is put in the foreground. If `PID` is specified, the job containing a process with the specified process ID is put in the foreground.

For compatibility with other shells, job expansion syntax is supported for `fg`. A PID of the format %1 will foreground job 1. Job numbers can be seen in the output of jobs.

The --help or -h option displays help about using this command.

## Example

`fg` will put the last job in the foreground.

`fg %3` will put job 3 into the foreground.
