end

Is fisherman compatible with oh-my-fish themes and plugins?

Yes.

Where does fisherman put stuff?

The cache and configuration go in ~/.cache/fisherman and ~/.config/fisherman respectively.

The fishfile is saved to ~/.config/fish/fishfile.

What is a fishfile and how do I use it?

The fishfile ~/.config/fish/fishfile lists all the installed plugins.

You can let fisherman take care of this file for you automatically, or write in the plugins you want and run fisher to satisfy the changes.

This mechanism only installs plugins and missing dependencies. To remove plugins, use fisher rm.

What is a plugin?

A plugin is:

1. a directory or git repo with one or more .fish functions either at the root level of the project or inside a functions directory

2. a theme or prompt, i.e, a fish_prompt.fish, fish_right_prompt.fish or both files

3. a snippet, i.e, one or more .fish files inside a directory named conf.d, evaluated by fish at the start of the session

How can I list plugins as dependencies to my plugin?

Create a new fishfile file at the root level of your project and write in the plugins you'd like to depend on.
