Bruno Pinto bc0d4847e8 Resolve #30: omf doctor command
In order to pro-actively diagnose an issue on someone's computer, a
`omf doctor' command is being added. This command will initially check
errors that could cause a theme to not be loaded, but in the future more
checks are going to be added to prevent issues from being created for
problems that are fixable by the Oh My Fish user alone.

# Install
```fish
curl -L github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/raw/master/bin/install | fish
omf help
```
Or _download_ and run it yourself:
```fish
curl -L github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/raw/master/bin/install > install
fish install
```
## Update Instructions
We just moved Oh My Fish repository back to our own organization. Since then, you need to update your Oh My Fish remotes. A clean install is highly recommended for users of old Oh My Fish, and you can follow the steps described below:
1. __BACKUP ALL YOUR CUSTOM STUFF__
2. `mv ~/.config/fish/config{,_old}.fish`
3. `rm -rf ~/.oh-my-fish`
4. Do a [clean Oh My Fish install](#install)
5. Copy all lines starting with `Plugin` and `Theme` from `~/.config/fish/config_old.fish`
6. Paste them it into `$OMF_CONFIG/bundle` file. If it doesn't exist, create it
7. Convert all `Plugin "name"` lines to `package name`
8. Convert all `Theme "name"` lines to `theme name`
9. `omf install`
If you find any trouble in the upgrade process join us in [Slack](https://oh-my-fish-slack.herokuapp.com) and we will be happy to help.
# Getting Started
Oh My Fish includes a small utility `omf` to fetch and install new packages and themes.
#### `omf update`
Update the framework and installed packages.
#### `omf install` _`[<name>|<url>]`_
Install one _or more_ packages.
- You can install packages directly by URL via `omf install URL`
- When called without arguments, install missing packages from [bundle](#dotfiles).
#### `omf list`
List installed packages.
#### `omf theme` _`<theme>`_
Apply a theme. To list available themes type `omf theme`. You can also [preview available Themes](./docs/Themes.md) before installing.
#### `omf remove` _`<name>`_
Remove a theme or package.
> Packages subscribed to `uninstall_<pkg>` events are notified before the package is removed, so custom cleanup of resources can be done. See [Uninstall](/docs/Packages.md#uninstall) for more information.
#### `omf new pkg | theme` _`<name>`_
Scaffold out a new package or theme.
> This creates a new directory under `$OMF_CONFIG/{pkg | themes}/` with a template.
#### `omf submit` _`pkg/<name>`_ _`[<url>]`_
Add a new package. To add a theme use `omf submit` _`themes/<name>`_ _`<url>`_.
Make sure to [send us a PR][omf-pulls-link] to update the registry.
#### `omf doctor`
Use to troubleshoot before [opening an issue][omf-issues-new].
#### `omf destroy`
Uninstall Oh My Fish.
# Advanced
Oh My Fish installer places its startup code in your fish config file (`~/.config/fish/config.fish`).
## Startup
Everytime you open a new shell the startup code initializes Oh My Fish installation path and the _config_ path (`~/.config/omf` by default), sourcing the [`init.fish`](init.fish) script afterwards, which autoload packages, themes and your custom init files. For more information check the [FAQ](docs/FAQ.md#what-does-oh-my-fish-do-exactly).
## Dotfiles
The `$OMF_CONFIG` directory represents the user state of Oh My Fish, and is the perfect
candidate for being added to your dotfiles and/or checked out to version control. There are four important files:
- __`theme`__ - The current theme
- __`bundle`__ - List of currently installed packages/themes
- __`init.fish`__ - Custom script sourced after shell start
- __`before.init.fish`__ - Custom script sourced before shell start
It's highly recommended that your custom startup commands go into `init.fish` file instead of `~/.config/fish/config.fish`, as this allows you to keep the whole `$OMF_CONFIG` directory under version control.
If you need startup commands to be run *before* Oh My Fish begins loading plugins, place them in `before.init.fish` instead. If you're unsure, it is usually best to put things in `init.fish`.
### About the bundle
Everytime a package/theme is installed or removed the `bundle` file is updated. You can also edit it manually and run `omf install` afterwards to satisfy the changes. Please note that while packages/themes added to the bundle gets automagically installed, a package/theme removed from bundle isn't removed from user installation.
## Creating Packages
Oh My Fish uses an advanced and well defined plugin architecture to ease plugin development, including init/uninstall events and function autoloading. [See the documentation](docs/Packages.md) for more details.
