A lot has changed, in fact, fisherman as you knew it, is
no longer with us. Let me explain. The new fisherman, is
in fact a rewired clone of ``fin´´, a short-lived 2 week
experiment that started because it was easier to rewrite
everything than moving fisherman forward.
Let me explain. I was longing for a lightweight, simpler
fisherman with minimal maintanance cost. This fin lad is
one of the most pragmatic pieces of code I've ever written,
but attempting to maintain two drastically different plugin
managers was not a sane decision. fin's goal was to get out
of my way and let me be productive with fish and it did.
Now fin is fisherman and fisherman is fin. The most notable
change is that fisherman no longer depends on an index, so
like fin, it's neutral and agnostic to what plugins you use.
No index means fisherman completions are no longer as clever
as to show you description of plugins, but you will still get
enough information to know whether the plugin is a theme or not.
I hope you always check the plugin's README / online docs before
installing anything anyway.
With the index gone, we had no use for ``search``, so this command
is also gone.
If you were using search often or depended on the removed features
above, I am afraid they are gone *gone*, but trust me it's all for
the very best.
Now, with this out of the way, it's all unicorns and dartfish. Almost.
To upgrade to fisherman 2.0.0 you need to REMOVE your current version
of fisherman:
1. ```rm -rf "$fisher_home" "$fisher_config"```
2. Open your config.fish and remove the fisherman initialization code.
3. ```exec fish < /dev/tty``` to reload the session.
4. Run `curl -Lo ~/.config/fish/functions/fisher.fish --create-dirs git.io/fisherman`
That's it. Probably.
The new fisherman brings a lot more stability and maturity to the
project and we need this change in order to move forward. I will
be actively fixing any bugs that may have sneaked in during the
```fin->fisherman``` rewiring, but please do ping me:
@bucaran on GitHub or directly to my email j@bucaran.me
if you find anything out of place. Feel free and invited to go
wild with issues in order to get this into shape ASAP.
Cheers!
* Deprecate fisher --list in favor of a new command fisher list.
The behavior is roughly the same. See fisher help list for
usage. tl;dr: Use list to query the local system / cache and
search to query the index.
* Teach fisher_plugin_walk about fish_postexec,
fish_command_not_found and fish_preexec event emitters and
erase them during uninstall if they were defined in a snippet.
* Fisherman now recognizes the following aliases by default:
i for install, u for update, l for list, s for search and h
for help.
* Large documentation rewrite. Better, simpler, more concise
and more consistent.
* Fisherman now detects if users have modified their fish
prompt using fish_config and if so, uninstalls $fisher_prompt.
* Move AUTHORS -> THANKS and remove automatic generation.
THANKS is more sensible than AUTHORS. CREDITS was second best.
Also, after perusing similar files in other projects I noticed
some entries lacking a valid email address and decided fow now
this file should be curated manually to make sure each entry
contains a useful link. This allows users who have contributed
to the project ways other than committing code to be added to
the list as well.
* Rename wait -> spin.
* Remove extra padding in links. (Cosmetic)
* Update to reflect API refactorings.
* Fix bug causing brackets to show up in description.
* Implement using spin function.
* __fisher_gist_to_name uses curl to query the GitHub API which will
return a JSON stream even if the Gist could not be found. So, it's
not possible to determine whether we failed or not using our spin
function and actually need to check the returned string to see if
it contains a valid name or not.
* Let git pull write errors to stderr.
* Use new internal __fisher_spin.
* Extract spin to independent / external module and tweak Makefile
to better integrate with new install process.
