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-install(1) -- Enable / Install plugins

SYNOPSIS

fisher install [name or url ...] [--quiet] [--help]

USAGE

fisher install plugin ...
fisher install owner/repo ...

DESCRIPTION

Install one or more plugins by name, searching $fisher_index or by url. If no arguments are given, read the standard input.

If the domain or host is not provided, Fisherman will use any value in $fisher_default_host. The default is https://github.com.

In addition, all of the following variations are accepted:

Shortcuts for other common Git repository hosting services are also available:

If a copy of the plugin already exists in $fisher_cache, the relevant files will be copied to $fisher_config/functions, otherwise the plugin repository is first downloaded. If you wish to update a plugin, use fisher update plugin instead.

If the plugin declares dependencies, these will be installed as well. If any dependencies are already installed they will not be updated in order to prevent version issues. See fisher help fishfile#{Plugins}.

If a plugin includes either a fish_prompt.fish or fish_right_prompt.fish, both files are first removed from $fisher_config/functions and then the new ones are copied.

OPTIONS

  • -q --quiet: Enable quiet mode.

  • -h --help: Show usage help.

PROCESS

Here is a typical install process breakdown for plugin:

  1. Check if plugin exists in $fisher_index. Fail otherwise.
  2. Download plugin to $fisher_cache if it is not there already.
  3. Copy all *.fish and functions/*.fish files to $fisher_config/functions.
  4. Copy all completions/*.fish to $fisher_config/completions.
  5. Copy all man/man[1-7] to $fisher_config/man/man%

Here is the plugin tree inside the cache:

$fisher_cache/plugin
|-- README.md
|-- plugin.fish
|-- functions
| |-- plugin_helper.fish
|-- completions
| |-- plugin.fish
|-- test
| |-- plugin.fish
|-- man
|-- man1
|-- plugin.1

And thisi is how the files are copied from $fisher_cache/plugin to $fisher_config:

  1. plugin.fish -> $fisher_config/functions
  2. functions/plugin_helper.fish -> $fisher_config/functions
  3. completions/plugin.fish -> $fisher_config/completions
  4. man/man1/plugin.1 -> $fisher_config/man/man1
