* 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 $fisher_plugins
array. --force will bypass this. Closes#40
This patch contains several amends for 0.3.0 and
other minor documentation corrections. Major
documentation revision and rewrite.
fisher help shows fisher(1) by default now.
Fix a critical bug that was causing fisher uninstall
--force to remove not the symbolic link, but the
actual files. Closes#24
Rename orphan tag to custom for plugins installed
using a custom URL.
warning Remove fisher --link flag and create symbolic
links by default for local paths. The user does not
have to worry about symbolic links or whether the
copy is as symbolic link or not anymore. If the user
tries to install a local path, then the best thing
to do is to create a symbolic link. This also
eliminates the need to call update.
warning Remove fisher --cache and fisher --validate.
Now, that these options are separated into their own
function and they are intentionally private, there
is no need for them.
* Fix a critical bug in the Makefile that was
incorrectly merging any existing user configuration
file and the generated Fisherman configuration.
Closes#21.
* Fix a bug in install and uninstall that was adding
plugin names to fishfiles instead of the URL when
interacting with custom URLs. Probably closes#23.
* Fix a bug in install, update and uninstall that
was displaying an incorrect plugin count if there
was at least on failure.
* Fix bug in `fisher install` that causes install
to fail even though it succeeds, due to `wait(1)`'s
behavior of returning `1` if there is any output to
standard error. Closes#20.
* Fix bug in `fisher uninstall` that was removing
plugins from the cache by mistake.
* Add feature to Makefile to download the index for
the first time in order to provide auto-complete
before the user can install/update/search, actions
which would case the index to be updated.
* Add link to Slack [room][wharf] in README. Thanks
@simnalamburt.
* Add new `$fisher_timeout` configuration variable
that lets you specify `curl(1)` `--max-time` option.
Without this, `curl` could hang for a long time if
you are in a bad connection.
* Add `fisher install --link` to allow installing
plugins creating a symbolic link to each of the
relevant files to be copied during the install
process. If you use ***`--link`*** to install a
plugin that is a _path to a directory_ or file, a
symbolic link to the directory will be created making
local testing more convenient as you are not required
to update the plugin's repository to test changes
within Fisherman. If you are testing using
[Fishtape][fishtape] you do not even need to reset
the shell session.
* Add `fisher --alias[=<command>=<alias>]` to simplify
creating new aliases for `fisher` commands. Use
`fisher --alias` without arguments to list the current
set of aliases. Also add auto-complete for aliases
to install, update or uninstall. Note that aliases
are **not** persisted this way. To save your aliases
use `$fisher_alias` as described in `fisher help
config`. Also note that aliases are only auto-complete
if you call `fisher --alias`. To auto-complete aliases
saved to `$fisher_alias` you can do `fisher --alias
(fisher --alias)`.
* Add short options for new and old fisher flags:
* `--file` → `-f` * `--list` → `-l` * `--alias`
→ `-a`
* Improve help message for failed installs. Closes
* Improve `fisher --validate` to automatically correct
common misspellings, for example when installing a
oh-my-fish package, one often types ohmyifsh.
* ☝️ Improve auto-complete performance by
extracting the implementation of the different
`fisher` flags to `__fisher_*` functions.
`completions/fisher.fish` relies heavily in
`fisher_search` to query what plugins are available
to install/update/uninstall. In this process, numerous
calls to `fisher --list` and `fisher --validate`,
etc., are made. Now, auto-complete does not have to
pay the penalty of entering `fisher`, parsing options,
etc. Closes#27. @namandistro
* Improve `fisher --help` output and show up until
now poorly documented ***`--list`***, ***`--file`***,
etc. flags consistently. Also display available
commands after `make install` to improve usability.
* Improve `fisher install` so that it checks whether
the plugin you are trying to install, if it is already
in the cache, is a symbolic link or not, and installs
it as if the `--link` flag was specified.
* Improve `fisher --validate` to retrieve the absolute
path to the closest directory of the given items if
they are valid local paths. Related #19.
* Improve install to not `git clone` local plugins
if a regular `path/to/file` is given to `fisher
install`. Instead, copy to the cache using `cp(1)`
and if `--link` is used, create a symlink.
* Improve `fisher --validate` to invalidate items
with repeated `.` and `-` and allow items that begin
with `/` or `./` to support installing plugins from
local paths. Related #19.
* Modify `fisher update` default behavior. Now this
command updates Fisherman by default. Use of `--self`
and `--me` is also **deprecated**. To read from the
standard input use a dash `-`. For example: `fisher
--list | fisher update -`. Closes#25.
* Rename `--cache` to more descriptive ***`--list`***.
Thanks @colstrom.
* Remove `fisher --cache=base` and make it return
the base names of all directories in the path by
default. To get the full path use printf `printf
"$fisher_cache/%s" (fisher --list)`
* Rename undocumented `fisher --translate` flag
(again) to `fisher --cache`. This function reads the
standard input for a name, URL or local path and
calculates the plugin's path relative to the cache.
For a name this is simple `$fisher_cache/<name>` for
an URL, retrieve the remote URL of every repository
until there is a match with the given URL and return
the path in the cache of that repository. Finally,
if the input is a
* Revert #3. The reason `getopts.fish` was in its
own file originally is because @bucaran wanted a
standalone, dependency free cli parser solution,
arguably slightly faster than having Awk read
`getopts.awk` for each use. The performance improvement
is negligible at best, but `getopts` is also used
by every single command and future commands and
plugins are very likely to use it as well, so we
so we might as well use the slightly faster version.
* 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.
