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.

.SH "NAME"
\fBfisher\-plugins\fR \- Creating Fisherman Plugins
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This document describes how to create Fisherman plugins\. This includes stand\-alone utilities, prompts, extension commands and configuration plugins\.
.
.P
There is no technical distinction between any of the terms aforementioned, but there is a \fIconceptual\fR difference\.
.
.SH "DEFINITIONS"
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBStandalone Utilities\fR: Plugins that define one or more functions, meant to be used at the command line\.
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBPrompts / Themes\fR: Plugins that modify the appearance of the fish prompt by defining a \fBfish_prompt\fR and / or \fBfish_right_prompt\fR functions\.
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBExtension Commands\fR: Plugins that extend Fisherman default commands\. An extension plugin must define one or more functions like \fBfisher_<my_command>\fR\. For specific information about commands, see \fBfisher help commands\fR and then return to this guide\.
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBConfiguration Plugins\fR: Plugins that include one or more \fBmy_plugin\fR\.config\.fish files\. Files that follow this convention are evaluated at the start of the session\.
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
The following tree is that of a plugin that displays the characteristics of all the plugins described above\.

.P
Plugins may list any number of dependencies to other plugins using a \fIfishfile\fR, see \fBfisher help fishfile\fR\.
.
.P
Plugins may also define completions using \fBcomplete\fR(1) and provide documentation in the form of \fBman\fR(1) pages\.
.
.SH "EXAMPLE"
This section walks you through creating \fIwtc\fR, a stand\-alone plugin based in \fIgithub\.com/ngerakines/commitment\fR random commit message generator\.
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Navigate to your preferred workspace and create the plugin\'s directory and Git repository:
.
.IP
\fBmkdir\fR \-p my/workspace/wtc; and \fBcd\fR my/workspace/wtc
.
.br
\fBgit\fR init
.
.br
\fBgit\fR remote add origin https://github\.com/\fIowner\fR/wtc
.
.br
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Add the implementation\.
.
.IP
\fBcat\fR > wtc\.fish
.
.IP "" 0
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
function wtc \-d "Generate a random commit message"
switch "$argv"
case \-h \-\-help
printf "usage: wtc [\-\-help]\en\en"
printf " \-h \-\-help Show usage help\en"
return
end
curl \-s whatthecommit\.com/index\.txt
end
^C

.IP "\(bu" 4
Add completions\. \fIwtc\fR is simple enough that you could get away without \fB__fish_parse_usage\fR, but more complex utilities, or utilities whose CLI evolves over time, can benefit using automatic completion generation\. Note that in order to use \fB__fish_parse_usage\fR, your command must provide a \fB\-\-help\fR option that prints usage information to standard output\.
.
.IP
\fBmkdir\fR completions
.
.br
\fBcat\fR > completions/wtc\.fish
.

set \-l IFS ";"
wtc \-\-help | __fish_parse_usage | while read \-l info long short

end

Add basic documentation\. Fisherman uses standard manual pages for displaying help information\. There are utilities that can help you generate man pages from other text formats, such as Markdown\. One example is \fBronn\fR(1)\. For this example, type will do:
.
.IP
\fBmkdir\fR \-p man/man1
.
.br
\fBcat\fR > man/man1/wtc\.1
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
\.TH man 1 "Today" "1\.0" "wtc man page"
\.SH NAME
wtc \e\- Generate a random commit message
\.SH SYNOPSIS
wtc [\-\-help]
\.SH OPTIONS
\-h, \-\-help: Display help information\.
\.SH SEE ALSO

Commit changes and push to the remote repository\.
.
.IP
\fBgit\fR add \-\-all
.

\fBgit\fR commit \-m "What the commit? 1\.0"
.

\fBgit\fR push origin master

Install with Fisherman\. If you would like to submit your package for registration install the \fBsubmit\fR plugin or send a pull request to the main index repository in \fIhttps://github\.com/fisherman/index\fR\. See \fBfisher\fR(7)#{\fBIndex\fR} for details\.
