# Fisherman
**Fisherman** is a blazing [fast](#performance), modern plugin manager for [Fish](http://fishshell.com/).
Features include a flat tree dependency model, external self-managed index, cache mechanism, full test coverage and compatibility with Tackle, Oh My Fish! and Wahoo themes and plugins.

## Performance
The following benchmarks were calculated using a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 MacBook Pro running on Flash Storage. See [Performance][performance] to learn more.
```fish
time -p fish -ic exit
```
Fisherman runs virtually no initialization code making it as fast as no Fisherman. Fundle performs well, but still [runs][fundle] cumbersome startup code. Oh My Fish! has the worst performance at `0.21` seconds for a lightweight setup.
