The fish_plugins file previously used absolute `$HOME` paths, making it non-portable across different machines. This change updates the file to use the ~ character for the home directory, improving compatibility and portability by avoiding hard-coded paths.
By using the `-q` flag, we avoid issues from existing `.curlrc` settings, especially the `-O` option that sends output to disk instead of stdout. Since we use curl more as a plumbing tool than an interactive user command , ignoring `.curlrc` ensures consistent behavior across setups.
GitHub has decided to archive the current git.io links in a
new read-only service that will allow us to continue using
redirects for existing git.io links.
I have a docker image that can install fish, but it is version 3.0.2.
The bash-compatible mechnism fish_path=(status fish-path) command
was not added until after 3.0.2, probably 3.1.

### Installing plugins
Install plugins using the `install` command followed by the path to the repository on GitHub.
To install plugins, use the `install` command and point it to the GitHub repository.
```console
fisher install ilancosman/tide
fisher install jorgebucaran/nvm.fish
```
To get a specific version of a plugin add an `@` symbol after the plugin name followed by a tag, branch, or [commit](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary#Documentation/gitglossary.txt-aiddefcommit-ishacommit-ishalsocommittish).
> Wanna install from GitLab? No problemo—just prepend `gitlab.com/` to the plugin path.
You can also snag a specific version of a plugin by adding an `@` symbol after the plugin name, followed by a tag, branch, or [commit](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary#Documentation/gitglossary.txt-aiddefcommit-ishacommit-ishalsocommittish).
```console
fisher install jorgebucaran/nvm.fish@2.1.0

You can install plugins from a local directory too.
And hey, you can install plugins from a local directory too!

### Listing plugins
List all the plugins that are currently installed using the `list` command.
Use the `list` command to see all your shiny installed plugins.
```console

jorgebucaran/nvm.fish@2.1.0

### Updating plugins
The `update` command updates one or more plugins to their latest version.
`update` command to the rescue! It updates one or more plugins to their latest and greatest version.
```console
fisher update jorgebucaran/fisher
```
> Use just `fisher update` to update everything.
> Just type `fisher update` to update everything in one fell swoop.
### Removing plugins
Remove installed plugins using the `remove` command.
Say goodbye to installed plugins with the `remove` command.
```console

## Using your `fish_plugins` file
Whenever you install or remove a plugin from the command line, Fisher will write down all the installed plugins plugins to `$__fish_config_dir/fish_plugins`. Adding this file to your dotfiles or version control is the easiest way to share your configuration across different systems.
Whenever you install or remove a plugin from the command line, Fisher jots down all the installed plugins in `$__fish_config_dir/fish_plugins`. Add this file to your dotfiles or version control to easily share your configuration across different systems.
You can also edit this file and run `fisher update` to commit changes. Here's an example:
You can also edit this file and run `fisher update` to commit changes like a pro:

## Creating a plugin
A plugin can be any number of files in a `functions`, `conf.d`, and `completions` directory. Most plugins consist of a single function, or [configuration snippet](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/#initialization-files). This is what a typical plugin looks like.
Plugins can include any number of files in `functions`, `conf.d`, and `completions` directories. Most plugins are just a single function or a [configuration snippet](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/index.html#configuration). Behold the anatomy of a typical plugin:
<pre>
<b>ponyo</b>
<b>flipper</b>
├── <b>completions</b>
│ └── ponyo.fish
│ └── flipper.fish
├── <b>conf.d</b>
│ └── ponyo.fish
│ └── flipper.fish
└── <b>functions</b>
└── ponyo.fish
└── flipper.fish
</pre>
Non `.fish` files as well as directories inside those locations will be copied to `$fisher_path` under `functions`, `conf.d`, or `completions` respectively.

### Event system
Plugins are notified as they are being installed, updated, or removed via Fish [events](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/emit.html).
Fish [events](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/emit.html) notify plugins when they're being installed, updated, or removed.
> `--on-event` functions must already be loaded when their event is emitted. Thus, you should put your event handlers in the `conf.d` directory.
> Keep in mind, `--on-event` functions must be loaded when their event is emitted. So, place your event handlers in the `conf.d` directory.
```fish
# Defined in ponyo/conf.d/ponyo.fish
# Defined in flipper/conf.d/flipper.fish
function _ponyo_install --on-event ponyo_install
function _flipper_install --on-event flipper_install
# Set universal variables, create bindings, and other initialization logic.
end
function _ponyo_update --on-event ponyo_update
function _flipper_update --on-event flipper_update
# Migrate resources, print warnings, and other update logic.
end
function _ponyo_uninstall --on-event ponyo_uninstall
function _flipper_uninstall --on-event flipper_uninstall
# Erase "private" functions, variables, bindings, and other uninstall logic.
end
```
## Creating a theme
A theme is like any other Fish plugin, but with a `.theme` file in the `themes` directory. Themes were introduced in [Fish `3.4`](https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/tag/3.4.0) and work with the `fish_config` builtin. A theme can also have files in `functions`, `conf.d`, or `completions` if necessary. Check out what a typical theme plugin looks like:
<pre>
<b>gills</b>
├── <b>conf.d</b>
│ └── gills.fish
└── <b>themes</b>
└── gills.theme
</pre>
### Using `$fisher_path` with themes
If you customize `$fisher_path` to use a directory other than `$__fish_config_dir`, your themes won't be available via `fish_config`. That's because Fish expects your themes to be in `$__fish_config_dir/themes`, not `$fisher_path/themes`. This isn't configurable in Fish yet, but there's [a request to add that feature](https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/9456).
Fear not! You can easily solve this by symlinking Fisher's `themes` directory into your Fish config. First, backup any existing themes directory.
Want to use theme plugins and maintain your own local themes? You can do that too ([#708](https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fisher/issues/708)).
## Discoverability
While Fisher doesn't rely on a central plugin repository, discovering new plugins doesn't have to feel like navigating uncharted waters. To boost your plugin's visibility and make it easier for users to find, [add relevant topics to your repository](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/classifying-your-repository-with-topics#adding-topics-to-your-repository) using [`fish-plugin`](https://github.com/topics/fish-plugin). By doing so, you're not only contributing to the Fisher community but also enabling users to explore new plugins and enhance their Fish shell experience. Don't let plugin discovery be a fishy business, tag your plugins today!
## Acknowledgments
Fisher started its journey in 2016 by [@jorgebucaran](https://github.com/jorgebucaran) as a shell configuration manager for Fish. Along the way, many helped shape it into what it is today. [Oh My Fish](https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish) paved the way as the first popular Fish framework. [@jethrokuan](https://github.com/jethrokuan) provided crucial support during the early years. [@PatrickF1](https://github.com/PatrickF1)'s candid feedback proved invaluable time and again. Bootstrapping Fisher was originally [@IlanCosman](https://github.com/IlanCosman)'s brilliant idea.
