fisher-fishfile(5) -- Fishfile Format
=====================================
## 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.
Fisherman also keeps a user *fishfile* in `$fisher_config` /fishfile which is automatically updated as you install or uninstall plugins.
## USAGE
Fishfiles are plain text, manifest files that list one or more plugins by their name, url or short url `owner/repo` .
Here is an example:
```
# my plugins
Fisherman v0.2.0
* Improved README, added links to screencasts, updated
documentation with new changes and fixed other typos and
composition errors.
* Removed `fisher update --cache` in favor of
`fisher --cache | fisher update` and
`fisher uninstall --all` in favor of
`fisher --cache | fisher uninstall`.
* Fisherman does not move initialization / configuration
files following the convention `name`.config.fish to
`$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.

To read fishfiles use `fisher --file` =*fishfile*. This will read *fishfile* sequentially, writing its contents to the standard output. Oh My Fish! bundle files are supported as well.

If *fishfile* is null or an empty string, the global *fishfile* in `$fisher_config` /fishfile will be used. Use a dash `-` to force read from standard input.

## PLUGINS
Plugins may declare any number of dependencies to other plugins in a fishfile at the root of their project.
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.
To understand this behavior, it helps to recall the shell's single scope for functions. The lack of private functions means that, it is *not* possible to single-lock a specific dependency version. See also `fisher` (7)#{`Flat Tree`}.
