* Improved README, added links to screencasts, updated documentation with new changes and fixed other typos and composition errors. * Removed `fisher update --cache` in favor of `fisher --cache | fisher update` and `fisher uninstall --all` in favor of `fisher --cache | fisher uninstall`. * Fisherman does not move initialization / configuration files following the convention `name`.config.fish to `$fisher_config/functions`, but to `$fisher_config/conf.d` now and evaluates each `*.config.fish` inside at shell start as usual. Closes #13. * Added `fisher --cache[=base]` option to retrieve contents in `$fisher_cache`, eliminating flaky usage of `find(1)`. Closes #11. * Fisherman now generates information about plugins installed via custom URLs. For the description, a shortened version of the URL is used. For the URL the full URL is used. For tags, the URL is fuzzily checked and tags such as _theme_, _plugin_, _config_ and _omf_ are added. The tag _orphan_ is added by default as well. Finally, the author is generated by retrieving the e-mail or username of the author of the first commit in the plugin's repository. Closes #9 and #14. * Changed `--path-in-cache` to `--translate.` This function translates an name or supported URL/URL variation into a path inside `$fisher_cache`. This allows you to treat plugins installed via custom URLs almost like regular plugins if they are installed. Closes #8. * Fixed a bug with `mktemp` failing on some systems. Closes #7. Thanks @tobywf. * Added [CODE_OF_CONDUCT][code_of_conduct]. Closes #6. * Fisherman can now unload themes within the same shell, without having to restart the session. Closes #5. * Fisherman can now load themes within the same shell, without having to restart the session using `exec fish`. Shoddy themes, for example those failing to declare global variables with the `-g` flag still require the session to be reset. See [**related**][bobthefish-19]. Closes #4. * Move `getopts` implementation to `share/getopts.awk`. Closes #3. * Support dots inside URIs in `fisher --validate`. Closes #2.

fisher-config(7) -- Fisherman Configuration
SYNOPSIS
This document describes how to use the available configuration options to customize Fisherman.
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
.
$fisher_home
is the location where Fisherman was downloaded. This location can be anywhere you like. If you changed this location after installing Fisherman, you need to update $fisher_home
as well.
$fisher_config
is the user configuration directory and the location of your user fishfile, cache directory and where plugins get installed to. This location must be different from $fisher_home
. The default location is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
/fisherman.
You can also customize the debug log path, cache location, index source url, command aliases, and other options via $fisher_*
variables.
VARIABLES
-
$fisher_home
: The home directory. This is the path where you downloaded Fisherman. -
$fisher_config
: The user configuration directory.$XDG_CONFIG_HOME
/fisherman by default. This directory is where the cache, functions and completions directories are located. -
$fisher_cache
: The cache directory. Plugins are first downloaded here and installed to$fisher_config/functions
afterwards. The cache is$fisher_config
/cache by default. -
$fisher_index
: Index source url or file. To use a different index set this to a file or url. Redirect urls are not supported due to security and performance concerns. The underlying request and fetch mechanism is based incurl
(1). See alsofisher
(7)#{Index
}. -
$fisher_error_log
: This file keeps a log of the most recent crash stack trace.$fisher_cache
/.debug_log by default. -
$fisher_alias
command=alias[,...] [command2=alias[,...]]: Use this variable to define custom aliases for fisher commands. See #{Examples
} below. -
$fisher_default_host
host Use this variable to define your preferred git host. Fisherman uses this value to convert short urls likeowner/repo
tohttps://host/owner/repo
. The default host is github.com.
EXAMPLES
- Create aliases for fisher
install
to i, in and inst; and for fisherupdate
to up.
set fisher_alias install=i,in,inst update=up
- Set
$fisher_index
and$fisher_default_host
.
set fisher_index https://raw.../owner/repo/master/index2.txt
set fisher_default_host bitbucket.org
