Fisher: I will dissolve the organization!

[jorgebucaran]

Summary

I will dissolve the https://github.com/fisherman organization—not the repository—, please transfer your repositories to your own GitHub (or GitLab.com/BitBucket.org) account. 🙏

I created the organization so it would become a central hub to contribute user functions, completions, and snippets to the fish ecosystem. What I've seen instead is that people prefer to keep their packages in their personal accounts.

I want to encourange this model of distributing packages. It aligns with the direction I'm taking in V3 and relieves me from worrying about the quality of each package present in the organization.

Please note that fisher now requires a username/pkg_name in order to install your package, so update your installation instructions accordingly.

Instructions

1. Go to https://github.com/fisherman/{PACKAGE_NAME}/settings
2. Scroll to the end, under Danger Zone look for Transfer ownership and click Transfer
3. Follow the instructions in the popup modal window
4. You did it! 🎉

Note: If you couldn't access the settings tab, you may not have owner permissions. Please let me know if this is the case and I'll make you an organization owner.

could you please transfer these two to my account:

https://github.com/fisherman/transfer
https://github.com/fisherman/gitignore

[jorgebucaran]

@sijad I can't transfer a repo from an organization to an account other than my own. It's a limitation of the GitHub org system. I just made you an owner, though, so you should be able to do it yourself.

Please remember to update the installation instructions from:

fisherman gitignore 

to

fisherman sijad/gitignore

[daenney]

So, I maintained rbenv and pyenv. Problem is, I have no use for those plugins anymore as I've switched to using asdf to manage all my tools. I could transfer them to me, but it's unlikely I'll ever spend time on those plugins anymore. Not sure what to do in this case, essentially they're abandoned.

[jorgebucaran]

@daenney How about archiving them after they are under your profile? Or would you like to avoid the transfer altogether? 🤔

[daenney]

Good idea. All done!

[gyakovlev]

done.

[jethrokuan]

done.

[igalic]

done

[Markcial]

done 👷

This dropped the fisherman/tap repo which was how I used to install fisherman from homebrew. Was that the intention? Should I migrate to the curlpipe?

https://github.com/kevinastone/dotfiles/blob/master/Brewfile#L22

[kevinastone]

Nvm, see #447

[jorgebucaran]

@kevinastone There is no curlpipe curl url | fish and there is no install script. To install fisher we use curl -L https://git.io/fisher -o fisher.fish which downloads a file and that's all. And yes, please migrate to that. 🙏

Keep in mind that even if I don't support installing fisher from homebrew, that doesn't mean someone else couldn't! I'm not against it, I just don't think it's worth it, at least not right now.

Why?

• not everyone has brew _or_ installing brew to install fisher is an avoidable extra step
• curl -L https://git.io/fisher -o fisher.fish will get you there on every mac
• wget https://git.io/fisher -O fisher.fish if you use wget instead
• because fish autoloads functions in $fish_function_path, e.g., ~/.config/fish/functions fisher is ready to run after dropping the file in the functions directory

[kevinastone]

Thanks. That makes sense. In my case, I can just version fisher.fish in my dotfiles repo with the rest of my fish config.

The eco prompt seems gone. Maybe it's related to transferring the repos?
The repo was https://github.com/fisherman/eco, but redirect now to https://github.com/fisherman/fin.

Same behavior as #300 two years ago.

I found this repo: https://github.com/dempfi/eco. Is this the new one?
Thanks for your help!

[jorgebucaran]

@nesmyslny The original one is gone, but you can use that fork if it works for you! 🙏

Most packages in the fisherman (and oh my fish too) are prompts (themes). Most prompts do essentially the same, some worse than others. I don't want to continue promoting the proliferation of superficial prompts like these. After V3 is out, I'll work on a new, more generic prompt that can be heavily customized via environment variables and figure out what to do about all the prompts I created.

If you are interested in the upcoming changes to fisherman → fisher, please see the new documentation (still WIP) in the V3 branch.

I think the moving broke some stuff (maybe).

fisher up updates and then just hangs in a sleep loop.

Further inspection shows the following command just hanging and doing nothing:
git-remote-https origin https://github.com/fisherman/docker-completion

So I guess it got moved and I have to figure out where too myself and how to fix this?

[FabioAntunes]

@hvdklauw either got removed or the move was done badly. I moved mine if you go to https://github.com/fisherman/nvm this will redirect to the new url automatically.

[hvdklauw]

Thanks, I think indeed the move was done badly, no clue where else to report that as I don't know where it was moved to 😛

[jorgebucaran]

I just released fisher V3 and will be dissolving the organization over the next days (or weeks). 🎉

For more information see the release notes and the V2 to V3 migration guide.

@jorgebucaran "Organization members cannot transfer repositories" fisherman/done

[franciscolourenco]

Any mechanism to assist migration to the new repositories?

• What will happen when someone tries to upgrade done and it is no longer under fisherman?
• What will happen when someone tries to upgrade fisherman/done and it is no longer under fisherman/done?

[jorgebucaran]

:wave: @franciscolourenco I made you an owner. You can transfer done to your own account now.

What will happen when someone tries to upgrade done and it is no longer under fisherman?

An error message is shown when the user tries to install a package with an invalid package specifier such as done.

What will happen when someone tries to upgrade fisherman/done and it is no longer under fisherman/done?

GitHub will automatically redirect the URL to correct resource.

[franciscolourenco]

done ✅

[jethrokuan]

done.

[jorgebucaran]

@nesmyslny IIRC you were using an eco fork. The package dependencies changed, so please send a PR to the maintainer or fork and update your fishfile:

• fisherman/segment → fishpkg/fish-segment
• fisherman/git_util → fishpkg/fish-git-util
• fisherman/humanize_duration → fishpkg/fish-humanize-duration

🙏
