  • fisher

    A plugin manager for Fish

  • Ah - Thanks for the links and history. From reading those two (479 and 480), they appear to request, describe, and implement the original behavior (have fishfile in $fisher_path). Then mattmc3 came along and submitted #545 with pull #547, to move to fishfile (ultimately fish_plugins) to live in $fish_config.

  • spacefish

    Discontinued πŸš€πŸŸ The fish shell prompt for astronauts

  • It depends on which packages you want, really. Some are available in all of those managers, and some are only available in one of them. Personally, i use a combination of omf/fisher for when I actually need to install something, but at the moment, I don't use anything outside of Spacefish

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • tide

    🌊 The ultimate Fish prompt. (by IlanCosman)

  • Spacefish is deprecated. I suggest looking into Tide or Hydro.

    Fish shell plugin to colorize man pages

  • plugin-cdb

    cd to basename

  • zzamboni/plugin-cdb (which is a one-liner I could do myself but hey, why not)

  • fzf-fish-integration

    πŸ”πŸŸ Fzf plugin for Fish

  • patrickf3139/fzf-fish-integration and skywind3000/z.lua (which I think are cool and I like to keep them around, but in reality I never use them)
