# Oh My Fish! ### Why? Developing on a shell should be a pleasure. Our goal is to help developers that don't want to spend time configuring their own computer to spend time doing what they want. ### How? With the power of our community, we take the already awesome [fish shell][fish] to another level by creating simple-to-use plugins and themes. [fish]: http://fishshell.com/ ### What? Oh-my-fish is a user-friendly framework for managing your fish-shell configuration. It includes optional plugins (brew, git, rails, python, node, etc) and themes. ## Installation Oh-my-fish is built for recent versions of the fish shell, namely "fish 2.0". curl -L https://github.com/bpinto/oh-my-fish/raw/master/tools/install.sh | sh If you want to install it manually, keep reading. ## Usage Enabling a new plugin or theme is as easy as it should be. Open your fish configuration file `~/.config/fish/config.fish` and specify the theme and the plugins you want to use. As an example, to enable rails and git plugins add this line `set fish_plugins git rails` to your configuration file. ## Customization If you have many functions which go well together, you can create custom plugin in the `custom/plugins/PLUGIN_NAME` directory and add to it as many functions as you want. If you would like to override the functionality of a plugin distributed with oh-my-fish, create a plugin of the same name in the `custom/plugins/` directory and it will be loaded instead of the one shipped with oh-my-fish. If you just want to override any of the default behavior or add some environment variables, just add a new file (ending in .load) into the `custom/` directory. ## Send us your theme! I'm hoping to collect a bunch of themes for our command prompts. You can see existing ones in the `themes/` directory. ## Switching to fish If you wish to use fish as your default shell, use the following command: grep -q '^/usr/local/bin/fish$' /etc/shells; or echo '/usr/local/bin/fish' | sudo tee -a /etc/shells chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish chsh will prompt you for your password, and change your default shell. To switch your default shell back, you can run: chsh -s /bin/bash Substitute /bin/bash with /bin/tcsh or /bin/zsh as appropriate. ### Manual installation 1. Clone the repository ``` git clone git://github.com/bpinto/oh-my-fish.git ~/.oh-my-fish ``` 2. Create a new fish config by copying the fish template we've provided. ``` cp ~/.oh-my-fish/templates/config.fish ~/.config/fish/config.fish ``` 3. Start / restart fish (just open a new terminal) ### Uninstall rm -rf ~/.oh-my-fish ###.
