Installing with npm works 9 out of 10 times. This may be due to
the post-install hook hack set in order to move fisher.fish into
the user functions directory.
The simplest and best way to install fisherman is by putting the
fisher.fish file in your functions directory.
It's too difficult to maintain install instructions in the FAQ
and possibly out of the scope of the project.
Also make it obvious that fisherman is designed for fish >= 2.3.0
and that users using fish 2.2.0 need to add conf.d support to their
~/.config/fish/config.fish for snippet support.
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!
* Add Chinese translation of README
* Add navigation links between English and Chinese document.
* Fix incorrect fishfile reference that should actually point to dotfiles.
