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-config(7) -- Fisherman Configuration

SYNOPSIS

This document describes how to use the available configuration options to customize Fisherman.

DESCRIPTION

Your fish user configuration, usually located in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fish/config.fish is updated after installing Fisherman to add the global variables $fisher_home and $fisher_config.

$fisher_home is the location where Fisherman was downloaded. This location can be anywhere you like. If you changed this location after installing Fisherman, you need to update $fisher_home as well.

$fisher_config is the user configuration directory and the location of your user fishfile, cache directory and where plugins get installed to. This location must be different from $fisher_home. The default location is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fisherman.

You can also customize the debug log path, cache location, index source url, command aliases, and other options via $fisher_* variables.

VARIABLES

  • $fisher_home: The home directory. This is the path where you downloaded Fisherman.

  • $fisher_config: The user configuration directory. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fisherman by default. This directory is where the cache, functions and completions directories are located.

  • $fisher_cache: The cache directory. Plugins are first downloaded here and installed to $fisher_config/functions afterwards. The cache is $fisher_config/cache by default.

  • $fisher_index: Index source url or file. To use a different index set this to a file or url. Redirect urls are not supported due to security and performance concerns. The underlying request and fetch mechanism is based in curl(1). See also fisher(7)#{Index}.

  • $fisher_error_log: This file keeps a log of the most recent crash stack trace. $fisher_cache/.debug_log by default.

  • $fisher_alias command=alias[,...] [command2=alias[,...]]: Use this variable to define custom aliases for fisher commands. See #{Examples} below.

  • $fisher_default_host host Use this variable to define your preferred git host. Fisherman uses this value to convert short urls like owner/repo to https://host/owner/repo. The default host is github.com.

EXAMPLES

  • Create aliases for fisher install to i, in and inst; and for fisher update to up.
set fisher_alias install=i,in,inst update=up
  • Set $fisher_index and $fisher_default_host.
set fisher_index https://raw.../owner/repo/master/index2.txt
set fisher_default_host bitbucket.org
