About:
Fisher is a fast and minimalist plugin manager for the Fish shell. It allows users to install, update, and manage functions, completions, and prompts from GitHub repositories with simple commands. Its declarative approach and single-file configuration make it a robust alternative to more complex frameworks.

Key Features:

Declarative configuration via a single fishfile
Fast and synchronous installation process
Supports plugins from GitHub or local paths
Zero overhead (no runtime sourcing)

Use Cases:

Managing and sharing custom Fish shell functions and completions
Syncing shell environment across multiple machines

Alternatives:

Oh My Fish – Heavier framework with a larger scope and more overhead
fundle – Similar minimal approach, but Fisher is generally faster and more widely used
