fisher-config(7) -- Fisherman Configuration

SYNOPSIS

This document describes how to use Fisherman configuration variables.

DESCRIPTION

Your fish user configuration, usually located in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fish/config.fish is updated after installing Fisherman to add the global variables $fisher_home and $fisher_config.

Using the following variables, you can customize the locations of the cache, index URL, fishfile, create command aliases, etc.

VARIABLES

• $fisher_home: The home directory. If you installed Fisherman using the recommended method curl -sL install.fisherman.sh | fish, the location will be $XDG_DATA_HOME/fisherman. If you clone Fisherman and run make yourself, $fisher_home will the current working directory.

• $fisher_config: The user configuration directory. This is default location of your user fishfile, Fisherman key_bindings.fish file and the cache, functions, completions and conf.d directories. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fisherman by default.

• $fisher_file: This file keeps a list of what plugins you have installed and are currently enabled. $fisher_config/fishfile by default. See fisher help fishfile for details.

• $fisher_cache: The cache directory. Plugins are downloaded first here and installed to $fisher_config/functions afterwards. The cache is $fisher_config/cache by default.

• $fisher_index: The URL to the index database. To use a different index set this to a file or URL. Redirect URLs are currently not supported due to security and performance concerns. The underlying request and fetch mechanism is based in curl(1).

• $fisher_alias command=alias[,...] [command2=alias[,...]]: Use this variable to define custom aliases for fisher commands. See Examples below.

EXAMPLES

• Create aliases for fisher install to i, in and inst; and for fisher update to up.

set fisher_alias install=i,in,inst update=up
