A plugin manager for fish.

• (supposed to be) Fast. Compiled to the native machine code. Parallel installation/upgrade of plugins.
• Minimally invasive to your config.fish: Adding one line is sufficient.
• Minimum overhead to the fish shell itself. The amount of fish script to be loaded for chips to work is extremely little.
• Minimum installation cost: No dependency except git and curl. chips is a single statically-compiled binary executable file.
• Uninstallation is easy: Remove chips, ~/.config/chips, and the line in config.fish, and you're clean as if you never installed chips at all.

chips is not written by someone who abuses DMCA takedown to bully other free software projects. In fact, OMF getting shot down was the first motivation to write chips.

Current version: chips 1.1.0 (2016-10-03)

Assuming ~/.local/bin is in your $PATH:

curl -Lo ~/.local/bin/chips --create-dirs \
    https://github.com/xtendo-org/chips/releases/download/1.1.0/chips_gnulinux \
    ; and chmod +x ~/.local/bin/chips

Assuming ~/.local/bin is in your $PATH:

curl -Lo ~/.local/bin/chips --create-dirs \
    https://github.com/xtendo-org/chips/releases/download/1.1.0/chips_osx \
    ; and chmod +x ~/.local/bin/chips

Use Stack.

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/xtendo-org/chips
cd chips
stack install

1. Run chips. This will create ~/.config/chips/plugin.yaml with the default template.
2. Edit plugin.yaml to include your desired plugins. For example, consider fish-sensible or shellder.
3. Run chips; exec fish.

After this, any time you make changes to plugin.yaml or want to update plugins, run chips again.

• Sourcing init.fish of plugins
• Installing themes: Plugins that contain fish_prompt.fish or fish_right_prompt.fish
• functions provided by plugins

• Completely purging unused plugins
• Files under completions
