With the caveat that the race of this character must be a githyanki, what would be good spell selections for a 14 Shadow Sorc/6 Whispers Bard with a focus of melee combat?
I want to make use of the githyanki's longsword proficiency while still remaining competant as a close-range spellcaster. Perhaps getting a Ruby of the War Mage to make the longsword a focus as well.

I... would not use a longsword. Use a rapier or a shortsword from your bard proficiencies (if you start as a bard, which you should) so you can dump STR, and max DEX so that your AC doesn't suck in light armor.
A few spells for a melee caster:
Cantrip: Shocking Grasp (useful for getaways), Booming Blade, Green-Flame Blade
Level 1: Shield, Absorb Elements
Level 2: Shadow Blade
... You can look up other spells that require a melee attack. You won't be able to access Plane Shift with that multiclass setup, but that's an example of one such spell. Contagion is one that you should be able to get, if you're interested.

Goth yanks are proficient in long sword. And OP’s caveat was it would be a Githyanki.
i assume the long sword is a part of that flavor. And you are completely trying to change his caveat.
also,
• Martial Prodigy. You are proficient with light and medium armor and with shortswords, longswords, and greatswords.

Partway through the quest for absolute truth.
