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.

fisher-help(1) -- Display Help Information
==========================================
## SYNOPSIS
fisher `help` [*keyword*] [`--all`] [`--guides`] [`--usage`[=*command*]] [`--help`] <br>
## USAGE
fisher `help` *command*<br>
fisher `help` *concept*<br>
fisher `help` `--usage`=[*command*]
## DESCRIPTION
Help displays *command* documentation, usage, guides and tutorials.
Help is based in `man`(1) pages. To supply help with your own plugin or command, create one or more man.`1~7` pages and add them to your project under the corresponding `man/man%` directory.
```
my_plugin
|-- my_plugin.fish
|-- man
|-- man1
|-- my_plugin.1
```
This will allow you to invoke `man` my_plugin. To add documentation to a command, prepend the keyword `fisher-` to the man file, e.g., `fisher-`my-command.1. This will allow you to access the man page via `fisher help my-command`.
There are utilities that can help you generate man pages from other text formats, such as Markdown. One example is `ronn`(1). For a standalone example see `fisher help plugins`#{`Example`}.
## OPTIONS
* `--commands`[=*bare*]:
List commands. This is the default behavior of `fisher help`. Use *bare* for easy to parse output.
* `-a` `--all`:
List commands and guides. Display all the available documentation.
* `-g` `--guides`[=*bare*]:
List guides / tutorials. Use *bare* for easy to parse output.
* `-u` `--usage`[=*command*]:
Display usage help for *command*. To supply usage help with a command, *command* must accept a `--help` option.
* `-h` `--help`:
Show usage help.
## EXAMPLES
* Display usage help for all Fisherman commands.
```
fisher help --commands=bare | fisher help --usage
```
