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.

.TH "FISHER\-FISHFILE" "5" "January 2016" "" "fisherman"
.
.SH "NAME"
\fBfisher\-fishfile\fR \- Fishfile Format
.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
A fishfile lets you share plugin configurations across multiple installations, allows plugins to declare dependencies, and prevent information loss in case of system failure\.
.
.P
Fisherman also keeps a user \fIfishfile\fR in \fB$fisher_config\fR/fishfile which is automatically updated as you install or uninstall plugins\.
.
.SH "USAGE"
Fishfiles are plain text, manifest files that list one or more plugins by their name, url or short url \fBowner/repo\fR\.
.
.P
Here is an example:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
# my plugins
shark
fishtape
# other links
oh\-my\-fish/bobthefish
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
To read fishfiles use \fBfisher \-\-file\fR=\fIfishfile\fR\. This will read \fIfishfile\fR sequentially, writing its contents to the standard output\. Oh My Fish! bundle files are supported as well\.
.
.P
If \fIfishfile\fR is null or an empty string, the global \fIfishfile\fR in \fB$fisher_config\fR/fishfile will be used\. Use a dash \fB\-\fR to force read from standard input\.
.
.SH "PLUGINS"
Plugins may declare any number of dependencies to other plugins in a fishfile at the root of their project\.
.
.P
By default, when Fisherman installs a plugin, it will also fetch and install its dependencies\. If a dependency is already installed, it will not be updated as this could potentially break other plugins using an older version\. For the same reason, uninstalling a plugin does not remove its dependencies\.
.
.P
To understand this behavior, it helps to recall the shell\'s single scope for functions\. The lack of private functions means that, it is \fInot\fR possible to single\-lock a specific dependency version\. See also \fBfisher\fR(7)#{\fBFlat Tree\fR}\.
