Fisherman

**[Fisherman]** is a blazing fast, modern plugin manager for [fish]. ```fish curl -sL get.fisherman.sh | fish ``` [![play]][play-link] Install instructions for fish can be found here. ## Install Download Fisherman using Git and setup your system automatically. See [other] install options. ```fish curl -sL get.fisherman.sh | fish ``` ## CLI The Fisherman CLI consists of: *install*, *update*, *uninstall*, *list*, *search* and *help* and the following aliases: *i* for install, *u* for update, *l* for list, *s* for search and *h* for help. ### Examples * Install plugins. ``` fisher i fishtape shark get bobthefish ``` * Install Oh My Fish! plugins. ```fish fisher i omf/plugin-{percol,jump,fasd} ``` * Install a plugin from a local directory. ```fish fisher i ./path/to/plugin ``` * Install a plugin from various URLs. ```fish fisher i https://github.com/some/plugin another/plugin bb:one/more ``` * Install a plugin from a Gist. ```fish fisher i gist.github.com/owner/1f40e1c6e0551b2666b2 ``` * Update everything. ``` fisher u ``` * Update plugins. ``` fisher u shark get ``` * Uninstall plugins. ``` fisher uninstall fishtape debug ``` * Get help. ```fish fisher h ``` ## List and search The list command displays all the plugins you have installed. The search command queries the index to show what's available to install. List installed plugins. ``` fisher list debug * fishtape * spin > superman @ wipe ``` Search the index. ``` fisher search ... * debug Conditional debug logger errno POSIX error code/string translator * fishtape TAP producing test runner flash Flash-inspired, thunder prompt fzf Efficient keybindings for fzf get Press any key to continue ... > superman Powerline prompt based on Superman ... ``` Query the index using regular expressions. ``` fisher search --name~/git-is/ git-is-dirty Test if there are changes not staged for commit git-is-empty Test if a repository is empty git-is-repo Test if the current directory is a Git repo git-is-staged Test if there are changes staged for commit git-is-stashed Test if there are changes in the stash git-is-touched Test if there are changes in the working tree ``` Search using tags. ``` fisher search --tag={git,test} ... * fishtape TAP producing test runner git-branch-name Get the name of the current Git branch git-is-dirty Test if there are changes not staged for commit git-is-empty Test if a repository is empty git-is-repo Test if the current directory is a Git repo git-is-staged Test if there are changes staged for commit git-is-stashed Test if there are changes in the stash git-is-touched Test if there are changes in the working tree ... ``` The legend consists of: * `*` The plugin is enabled * `>` The plugin is a prompt * `@` The plugin is a symbolic link ## Plumbing Fisherman commands are pipe aware. Plumb one with another to create complex functionality. Update plugins installed as symbolic links. ```fish fisher list --link | fisher update - ``` Enable all the plugins currently disabled. ```fish fisher list --disabled | fisher install ``` Uninstall all the plugins and remove them from the cache. ```fish fisher list | fisher uninstall --force ``` ## Dotfiles When you install a plugin, Fisherman updates the *fishfile* to track what plugins are currently enabled. * Customize the location of the fishfile. ```fish set -g fisher_file ~/.dotfiles/fishfile ``` ## Flat Tree Fisherman merges the directory trees of all the plugins it installs into a single flat tree. Since the flat tree is loaded only once at the start of the shell, Fisherman performs equally well, regardless of the number of plugins installed. The following illustrates an example Fisherman configuration path with a single plugin and prompt. ``` $fisher_config ├── cache ├── completions │   └── my_plugin.fish ├── conf.d │   └── my_plugin.fish ├── fishfile ├── functions │   ├── fish_prompt.fish │   ├── fish_right_prompt.fish │   └── my_plugin.fish └── man └── man1 └── my_plugin.1 ``` ## Index The index is a plain text database that lists Fisherman official plugins. The index lists records, each consisting the fields: *name*, *url*, *info*, one or more *tags* and *author*. ``` z https://github.com/fishery/fish-z Pure-fish z directory jumping z search cd jump jethrokuan ``` If you have a plugin you would like to submit to the index, use the submit plugin. ``` fisher install submit fisher submit my_plugin description tags url ``` Or, submit the plugin manually by creating a pull request in the [index](https://github.com/fisherman/fisher-index) repository. ``` git clone https://github.com/fisherman/fisher-index cd index echo "$name\n$url\n$info\n$tags\n$author\n\n" >> index git push origin master ``` ## Variables * $fisher_home: The home directory. If you installed Fisherman using the recommended method, the location ought to be *XDG_DATA_HOME/fisherman*. * $fisher_config: The configuration directory. This is default location of your *fishfile*, *key_bindings.fish*, *cache*, *functions*, *completions* and *conf.d* directories. *XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fisherman* by default. * $fisher_file: See [fishfile](#fishfile) above. * $fisher_cache: The cache directory. Plugins are downloaded to this location. * $fisher_alias *command*=*alias* ...: Use this variable to create aliases of Fisherman commands. ## Plugins Plugins can be utilities, prompts, commands or snippets. To create a plugin from a template, install the new command. ``` fisher install new fisher new plugin < meta.yml ``` See the documentation for [new] for details. ### Utilities Utilities are plugins that define one or more functions. Below is a plugin based in [ngerakines/commitment](https://github/ngerakines/commitment) random commit message generator. ```fish mkdir wtc cd wtc function wtc -d "Generate a random commit message" switch "$argv" case -h --help printf "Usage: wtc [--help]\n\n" printf " -h --help Show usage help\n" return end curl -s whatthecommit.com/index.txt end functions wtc > wtc.fish fisher install . ``` ``` wtc (\ /) (O.o) (> <) Bunny approves these changes. ``` ### Submit To submit wtc to the official index. ```fish fisher submit wtc "Random commit message generator" "commit random fun" https://github.com/owner/wtc ``` This will create a PR in the Fisherman index repository. Once the PR is approved, Fisherman users will be able to install wtc if they have the latest index. ```fish fisher install wtc ``` ### Dependencies A plugin can list dependencies to other plugins using a *fishfile*. Create a *fishfile* in the root of your project and add the name or URL of your dependencies. ``` my_plugin https://github.com/owner/another_plugin ``` ### Prompts Prompts, or themes, are plugins that modify the appearance of the shell prompt and colors. Create a `fish_prompt` function. ```fish function fish_prompt printf "%s (%s) >> " (prompt_pwd) Fisherman end ``` ``` ~ (Fisherman) >> type here ``` To add a right prompt, create a `fish_right_prompt` function. ```fish function fish_right_prompt printf "%s" (date +%H:%M:%S) end ``` Save the functions to a directory and install the prompt as a plugin. ```fish mkdir my_prompt cd my_prompt functions fish_prompt > fish_prompt.fish functions fish_right_prompt > fish_right_prompt.fish fisher install . ``` Customize the colors fish uses for syntax highlighting. ```fish function set_color_custom set -U fish_color_normal normal set -U fish_color_command yellow set -U fish_color_param white end functions set_color_custom > set_color_custom.fish fisher update . ``` ### Commands Commands are plugins that extend the Fisherman CLI adding new `fisher `. Create a function `fisher_` ```fish function fisher_time -d "Say hello" printf "It's %s\n" (date +%H:%M) end ``` Test it works ```fish fisher time It's 6:30 ``` Make it a plugin ```fish fisher install fisher_time ``` ### Snippets Snippets are plugins that run code at the start of the shell. Snippets must be placed inside a sub directory named conf.d. The following example implements a fish_postexec hook to display the duration of the last command in milliseconds. ```fish mkdir -p runtime/conf.d cd runtime $EDITOR conf.d/fish_postexec.fish ``` ```fish function fish_postexec --on-event fish_postexec printf "%sms\n" $CMD_DURATION > /dev/stderr end fisher install ./postexec ``` [travis-link]: https://travis-ci.org/fisherman/fisherman [travis-badge]: https://img.shields.io/travis/fisherman/fisherman.svg?style=flat-square [version-badge]: https://img.shields.io/badge/latest-v1.3.1-00B9FF.svg?style=flat-square [version-link]: https://github.com/fisherman/fisherman/releases [slack-link]: https://fisherman-wharf.herokuapp.com/ [slack-badge]: https://img.shields.io/badge/slack-join%20the%20chat-00B9FF.svg?style=flat-square [play]: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8317250/13458315/dfcac4b4-e0af-11e5-8ee5-df31d1cdf409.png [play-link]: http://fisherman.sh/#demo [Get Started]: https://github.com/fisherman/fisherman/wiki [Plugins]: http://fisherman.sh/#search [fish]: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell [other]: https://github.com/fisherman/fisherman/wiki/Installing-Fisherman#notes [Fisherman]: http://fisherman.sh [new]: https://github.com/fishery/new
