How do you "source" a file in fish?

How do you "source" a file in fish? I'd like to use keychain with the fish shell, but I'm not sure how to get fish to load the ~/.keychain/hostname-fish file to set the appropriate environment variables.

"Below is what I have in ~/.config/fish/config.fish for your specific example.
set -gx HOSTNAME (hostname)
if status --is-interactive;
keychain --nogui --clear ~/.ssh/id_rsa
[ -e $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-fish ]; and source $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-fish
end

The source command is source, which also works in bash.

Prior to fish 2.1.0, the source command was called .."

"If the file you're trying to source contains bash, consider using Bass.

This will let you write, for example:

bass source ~/.bash_profile"
