Why am I having trouble setting environment variables?

[Oneechan69]

cat '~/.config/fish/config.fish'

set -g STARSHIP_CONFIG "~/.config/fish/starship.toml"
set -g RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH "~/.config/fish/.ripgreprc"
starship init fish | source⏎

But when I do either env | rg "RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH" or "STARSHIP_CONFIG" it shows nothing.

You have not exported the variables, meaning they are not visible outside of fish, to an external process like, say, starship. Add a -x to your set:

set -gx STARSHIP_CONFIG "~/.config/fish/starship.toml"
set -gx RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH "~/.config/fish/.ripgreprc"
