fisher-fishfile(5) -- Fishfile Format
=====================================
## SYNOPSIS
Fishfiles let you share plugin configurations across multiple installations, let plugins declare dependencies and teach Fisherman what plugins are currently enabled / disabled when using `fisher --list`.
Your fishfile is stored in `$fisher_config/fishfile` by default, but you can customize this location overriding the `$fisher_file` variable in your fish configuration file.
## USAGE
Fishfiles list one or more plugins by their name, URL or path to a local project.
Here is an example:
```
# Ahoy!
gitio
fishtape
shark
get
some_user/her_plugin
```
A fishfile may contain any amount of whitespace and comments.
If you need to parse a fishfile to list its plugins, for example, to pipe the input into `fisher install` or `fisher update`, you can use `fisher --list=path/to/fishfile`. Notice that Oh My Fish! bundle file syntax is also supported.
## PLUGINS
Plugins may list any number of dependencies to other plugins in a fishfile at the root of the project.
When a plugin is installed, its dependencies are downloaded for the first time. If a dependency is already installed, it is not updated in order to prevent breaking other plugins using a different version. Currently, uninstalling a plugin does not remove any its dependencies either.
Introducting Fisherman's official website: www.fisherman.sh Still a WIP. Powered by Jekyll and hosted by GitHub pages. * Refactor fisher install / fisher uninstall by extracting the logic to enable / disable plugins into __fisher_plugin. The algorithm to enable/disable plugins is essentially the same. The only difference is enable, copies/symlinks files and disable removes them from $fisher_config/.... Closes #45. * Add support for legacy oh-my-fish! plugins using .load initialization files. Closes #35. * Add support for Tackle Fish framework initialization modules. Closes #35. * Add support for plugins that share scripts in languages like Python or Perl. For example oh-my-fish/plugin-vi-mode assumes there is a vi-mode-impl.py file in the same path of the running script. This opens the door for including code snippets in other languages. * Any files inside a share directory, except for *.md or *.fish files, are copied to $fisher_config/functions. This allows you to run legacy plugins that retrieve the currently running script path with (dirname (status -f)) out of the box. * A cleaner alternative is using the new $fisher_share variable like this: python $fisher_share/my_plugin_script.py. * $fisher_share points to $fisher_config/share by default, but you may change this in your user config.fish. This path contains copies (or symbolic links) to the same script files copied to $fisher_config/functions. * Introduce the $fisher_share_extensions variable to let you customize what extensions Fisherman is aware of. Only extensions in this array will be processed during the install process. The default is py rb php pl awk sed. * .fish and .md extensions are always ignored. * Remove ad-hoc debug d function created by mistake in the Fisherman config.fish file. Closes #34. * Remove almost useless fisher --alias. You can still create aliases using $fisher_alias. It's difficult to add auto-complete to this feature, and even if we do so, it is slow. * Fix bug introduced in the previous release caused by swapping the lines that calculate the index of the current plugin being installed/updated/uninstalled and the line that displays the value, causing the CLI to show incorrect values. Closes #36. Thanks @kballard * Add cache, enabled and disabled options to fisher --list. Now you can type fisher -l enabled to get a list of what plugins are currently enabled. * Add new $fisher_plugins universal variable to keep track of what plugins are enabled / disabled. * Update completions after a plugin is installed, updated or uninstalled. * Improve autocomplete speed by removing the descriptions from plugins installed with custom URLs. * fisher --list displays nothing and returns 1 when there are no plugins installed. Closes #38. * fisher uninstall does not attempt to uninstall plugins already disabled by looking at the $fisher_plugins array. --force will bypass this. Closes #40

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 `Flat Tree` in `fisher help tour`.
