Home-manager: Expand fish support to functions and packages?

[sondr3]

I'm currently in the process of trying to convert my dotfiles and assorted stuff to using home-manager and currently I use a few custom functions and a few packages installed through fisher, I was curious if you'd be willing to accept PRs towards automatically installing this for fish? And if you have any pointers or code that can point me in the right direction if this is the case.

Thanks for home-manager :)

Glad you like Home Manager 🙂

I don't know much about the fish and nothing about fisher, so I think I can't help you very much. Perhaps @vdemeester, @gnidorah, @hyperfekt, or @Jomik have any idea whether this makes sense for the module?

This here is my personal setup. I can open a PR with it, if wanted.

https://github.com/Jomik/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/nixpkgs/modules/programs/fish
https://github.com/Jomik/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/nixpkgs/configurations/fish.nix

I just install the plugins directly in Nix. We don't want to use fisher, as it is impure.
We could support the fisherfile, but I don't see any gain in that.

That looks really sweet, I'd love to see it in home-manager.

@sondr3 @Jomik Nice setup ! Mine is a bit weirder, less polished… I do agree this would be a really cool addition to home-manager.

I also think that it would be great to have this.

@vdemeester Do you mind sharing yours? It may have some nice ideas that we could incorporate.
@rycee I'll look at opening a PR for this then, probably this weekend.

ahah I can share but it won't have any nice ideas :sweat: (the nice ideas are still somewhere in an org file :joy:) — https://github.com/vdemeester/home/blob/master/modules/profiles/fish.nix :sweat_smile:
