The legend consists of:

• > The plugin is a prompt
• * The plugin is installed
• @ The plugin is a symbolic link

Plumbing

Fisherman commands are pipe aware. Plumb one with another to create complex functionality.

Update plugins installed as symbolic links.

fisher list --link | fisher update -

Enable all the plugins currently disabled.

fisher list --disabled | fisher install

Uninstall all the plugins and remove them from the cache.

fisher list | fisher uninstall --force

Dotfiles

When you install a plugin, Fisherman updates the fishfile to track what plugins are currently enabled.

• Customize the location of the fishfile.

set -g fisher_file ~/.dotfiles/fishfile

Flat Tree

Fisherman merges the directory trees of all the plugins it installs into a single flat tree. Since the flat tree is loaded only once at the start of the shell, Fisherman performs equally well, regardless of the number of plugins installed.

The following illustrates an example Fisherman configuration path with a single plugin and prompt.

$fisher_config
├── cache
├── completions
│   └── my_plugin.fish
├── conf.d
│   └── my_plugin.fish
├── fishfile
├── functions
│   ├── fish_prompt.fish
│   ├── fish_right_prompt.fish
│   └── my_plugin.fish
└── man
    └── man1
        └── my_plugin.1

Index

The index lists records, each consisting the fields: name, url, info, one or more tags and author.
