Fisherman v0.2.0 * Improved README, added links to screencasts, updated documentation with new changes and fixed other typos and composition errors. * Removed `fisher update --cache` in favor of `fisher --cache | fisher update` and `fisher uninstall --all` in favor of `fisher --cache | fisher uninstall`. * Fisherman does not move initialization / configuration files following the convention `name`.config.fish to `$fisher_config/functions`, but to `$fisher_config/conf.d` now and evaluates each `*.config.fish` inside at shell start as usual. Closes #13. * Added `fisher --cache[=base]` option to retrieve contents in `$fisher_cache`, eliminating flaky usage of `find(1)`. Closes #11. * Fisherman now generates information about plugins installed via custom URLs. For the description, a shortened version of the URL is used. For the URL the full URL is used. For tags, the URL is fuzzily checked and tags such as _theme_, _plugin_, _config_ and _omf_ are added. The tag _orphan_ is added by default as well. Finally, the author is generated by retrieving the e-mail or username of the author of the first commit in the plugin's repository. Closes #9 and #14. * Changed `--path-in-cache` to `--translate.` This function translates an name or supported URL/URL variation into a path inside `$fisher_cache`. This allows you to treat plugins installed via custom URLs almost like regular plugins if they are installed. Closes #8. * Fixed a bug with `mktemp` failing on some systems. Closes #7. Thanks @tobywf. * Added [CODE_OF_CONDUCT][code_of_conduct]. Closes #6. * Fisherman can now unload themes within the same shell, without having to restart the session. Closes #5. * Fisherman can now load themes within the same shell, without having to restart the session using `exec fish`. Shoddy themes, for example those failing to declare global variables with the `-g` flag still require the session to be reset. See [**related**][bobthefish-19]. Closes #4. * Move `getopts` implementation to `share/getopts.awk`. Closes #3. * Support dots inside URIs in `fisher --validate`. Closes #2.

Ahoy! Fisherman 0.3.0 * Fix a critical bug in the Makefile that was incorrectly merging any existing user configuration file and the generated Fisherman configuration. Closes #21. * Fix a bug in install and uninstall that was adding plugin names to fishfiles instead of the URL when interacting with custom URLs. Probably closes #23. * Fix a bug in install, update and uninstall that was displaying an incorrect plugin count if there was at least on failure. * Fix bug in `fisher install` that causes install to fail even though it succeeds, due to `wait(1)`'s behavior of returning `1` if there is any output to standard error. Closes #20. * Fix bug in `fisher uninstall` that was removing plugins from the cache by mistake. * Add feature to Makefile to download the index for the first time in order to provide auto-complete before the user can install/update/search, actions which would case the index to be updated. * Add link to Slack [room][wharf] in README. Thanks @simnalamburt. * Add new `$fisher_timeout` configuration variable that lets you specify `curl(1)` `--max-time` option. Without this, `curl` could hang for a long time if you are in a bad connection. * Add `fisher install --link` to allow installing plugins creating a symbolic link to each of the relevant files to be copied during the install process. If you use ***`--link`*** to install a plugin that is a _path to a directory_ or file, a symbolic link to the directory will be created making local testing more convenient as you are not required to update the plugin's repository to test changes within Fisherman. If you are testing using [Fishtape][fishtape] you do not even need to reset the shell session. * Add `fisher --alias[=<command>=<alias>]` to simplify creating new aliases for `fisher` commands. Use `fisher --alias` without arguments to list the current set of aliases. Also add auto-complete for aliases to install, update or uninstall. Note that aliases are **not** persisted this way. To save your aliases use `$fisher_alias` as described in `fisher help config`. Also note that aliases are only auto-complete if you call `fisher --alias`. To auto-complete aliases saved to `$fisher_alias` you can do `fisher --alias (fisher --alias)`. * Add short options for new and old fisher flags: * `--file` → `-f` * `--list` → `-l` * `--alias` → `-a` * Improve help message for failed installs. Closes * Improve `fisher --validate` to automatically correct common misspellings, for example when installing a oh-my-fish package, one often types ohmyifsh. * :point_up: Improve auto-complete performance by extracting the implementation of the different `fisher` flags to `__fisher_*` functions. `completions/fisher.fish` relies heavily in `fisher_search` to query what plugins are available to install/update/uninstall. In this process, numerous calls to `fisher --list` and `fisher --validate`, etc., are made. Now, auto-complete does not have to pay the penalty of entering `fisher`, parsing options, etc. Closes #27. @namandistro * Improve `fisher --help` output and show up until now poorly documented ***`--list`***, ***`--file`***, etc. flags consistently. Also display available commands after `make install` to improve usability. * Improve `fisher install` so that it checks whether the plugin you are trying to install, if it is already in the cache, is a symbolic link or not, and installs it as if the `--link` flag was specified. * Improve `fisher --validate` to retrieve the absolute path to the closest directory of the given items if they are valid local paths. Related #19. * Improve install to not `git clone` local plugins if a regular `path/to/file` is given to `fisher install`. Instead, copy to the cache using `cp(1)` and if `--link` is used, create a symlink. * Improve `fisher --validate` to invalidate items with repeated `.` and `-` and allow items that begin with `/` or `./` to support installing plugins from local paths. Related #19. * Modify `fisher update` default behavior. Now this command updates Fisherman by default. Use of `--self` and `--me` is also **deprecated**. To read from the standard input use a dash `-`. For example: `fisher --list | fisher update -`. Closes #25. * Rename `--cache` to more descriptive ***`--list`***. Thanks @colstrom. * Remove `fisher --cache=base` and make it return the base names of all directories in the path by default. To get the full path use printf `printf "$fisher_cache/%s" (fisher --list)` * Rename undocumented `fisher --translate` flag (again) to `fisher --cache`. This function reads the standard input for a name, URL or local path and calculates the plugin's path relative to the cache. For a name this is simple `$fisher_cache/<name>` for an URL, retrieve the remote URL of every repository until there is a match with the given URL and return the path in the cache of that repository. Finally, if the input is a * Revert #3. The reason `getopts.fish` was in its own file originally is because @bucaran wanted a standalone, dependency free cli parser solution, arguably slightly faster than having Awk read `getopts.awk` for each use. The performance improvement is negligible at best, but `getopts` is also used by every single command and future commands and plugins are very likely to use it as well, so we so we might as well use the slightly faster version.

Ahoy!! Fisherman 1.0.0 :anchor: * Deprecate fisher --list in favor of a new command fisher list. The behavior is roughly the same. See fisher help list for usage. tl;dr: Use list to query the local system / cache and search to query the index. * Teach fisher_plugin_walk about fish_postexec, fish_command_not_found and fish_preexec event emitters and erase them during uninstall if they were defined in a snippet. * Fisherman now recognizes the following aliases by default: i for install, u for update, l for list, s for search and h for help. * Rewrite documentation to be simpler and more consistent. * Fisherman can install "functions" now. If you have created a function interactively, you can run fisher install name of the function and a directory will be created in $PWD/name of the function and installed as usual. * Fisherman now detects if users have modified their fish prompt using fish_config and if so, uninstalls $fisher_prompt. * Search results now truncate plugin descriptions based in the width of the terminal screen. * Install/Update/Uninstall CLI was retouched. Looking behind and Ahead ======================== On Jan, 1st, Fisherman 0.1.0 departed from the bay of "my hard drive" and today 1.0.0 has finally shipped. Things are still a little rough and knotty, what did you think? But 1.0.0 means all the basic things are here. Internally, we may still push some large changes, more robust tests; at ~300 there are still areas a bit dry. On the outside, Fisherman will change little, I hope. That's a feature. If you want a more colorful CLI, concurrent updates, or another bit here and there, we may work something out. This release means more time to focus on the plugin ecosystem, but the adventures are far from over.
