Both said the generic 'Fish Shell Configuration' -- the site nav already
reads 'Rootiest Fish Config'. Reworded README's opening line to match
the sentiment, not just the name swap.
Adds an OS Compatibility section to the README and the Installation
manual page: developed and tested on Arch Linux, macOS and Windows
unsupported, with the specific Linux-only calls that back that claim
(systemd-inhibit, zramctl/swapon, sbctl, wl-copy/xclip with no
pbcopy/clip.exe fallback, GNU-only stat/numfmt flags) and the baseline
packages (git, gpg, tar, coreutils) assumed present rather than tracked
by fish-deps.
Adds os/os-compatibility/operating-system/compatibility/linux/macos/
mac/windows/wsl keywords to fish-config.index so `help config os` and
friends jump straight to it.
An empty dump does not fail loudly: the TUI renders every row as
DEFAULT, which is indistinguishable from a config where nothing is set.
That is a wrong answer rather than a missing one -- the user would be
looking at ON rows reported as DEFAULT -- so the launcher now checks the
dump is non-empty and bails with a message instead. The taxonomy alone
guarantees output on any working checkout. Also guard a failed mktemp,
which would otherwise send the dump to /state and hand an empty path to
rm -rf.
README: mention that / searches sub-categories across every category.
config-settings is now a launcher for scripts/config-settings-tui.py,
drawn with Python's stdlib curses. The seven fish files that hand-rolled
the ANSI renderer are gone, along with the golden harness that had to pin
their byte-exact output.
The TUI is a child process, so it can neither read the session's global
variables nor write them. State goes in as a dump from the new
__config_settings_state; the edits come back as a fish script that
config-settings sources, which is what lets the Session page's `set -g`
land in the caller's shell instead of in a child that is about to exit.
Every edit is emitted as a call to __config_settings_apply or
__config_settings_set_value, so list splitting, the SCROLLBACK_HISTORY_*
export mirror and the shadow-warning suppression all stay in the fish
layer that already owned them.
The consequence, and the one behaviour change: edits are applied in one
batch on exit rather than on each keypress. The status bar shows a
pending count.
New: `/` filters the current page, and on the Universal and Session pages
it reaches into every category's sub-categories, listing hits as
"Category › Sub" so a sub-category can be toggled without drilling into
its parent first. Also a `?` help overlay, mouse selection, and a
drill-down page that leads with the category's own toggle.
Gone with the renderer: the four width tiers, the wrap-aware erase
arithmetic, the stty/dd/od raw key reader, the panel-height bookkeeping
and the hand-written redraw differ. curses owns all of it, and the alt
screen plus absolute addressing makes the desync class behind 608b022,
4210f3b, 93fc5e0 and 3c4f720 unreachable.
The sub-category taxonomy is NOT duplicated in Python: it travels in the
state dump, still sourced from __config_settings_subcats. The category,
Sponge and Paths row tables move into Python, consolidating the two
copies the fish renderers kept.
Dependency: python3 with curses. Stdlib on Arch, Fedora and a full
Debian/Ubuntu python3; python3-minimal alone lacks _curses. The launcher
checks for both and names what is missing. Called out in the README.
Verified: 416/416 assertions, plus a live end-to-end in a sandbox HOME
confirming the Universal page writes universal scope only (U1/G0) and the
Session page global scope only (U0/G1).
Adds a GitHub social icon to the docs site header alongside the existing
Gitea one, and documents in the README's Contributing section that
git.rootiest.dev is the base repo while the GitHub copy is a one-way
mirror, so forks/issues/PRs should go through Gitea.
Adds Testing, Contributing, Attribution, and License sections to the
manual/man page/site, sourced directly from README.md via a new
`<!-- README: Heading -->` placeholder mechanism in build-manual.py, so
the README stays the single source of truth for those sections instead
of a hand-maintained copy drifting out of sync.
Also converts docs/manual/00-table-of-contents.md from a hand-typed list
to a generated one (mt.walk()-driven), fixing a numbering drift where
Components Reference was omitted and every section after it was off by
one relative to its own manTitle.
Adds tests/run-tests.fish (syntax lint over every .fish file, plus a
sandboxed interactive load) and tests/functional.fish (10 checks
covering XDG/PATH/CDPATH setup, key bindings, abbreviations, core
functions, exit rewiring, and the opinionated-component registry).
The sandbox copies config-relevant files into a scratch HOME/XDG tree
rather than symlinking the checkout, since this repo also serves as a
live ~/.config/fish and a symlink would let universal-variable writes
leak into the real fish_variables file.
Wires the suite into build-docs.yml as a `test` job that `build-docs`
now depends on, so a broken config can no longer get published to the
docs site. Documents the workflow in the README's new Testing section.
Add the starlight-llms-txt plugin so the docs build emits llms.txt,
llms-full.txt, and llms-small.txt alongside the regular pages, making
the manual queryable by MCP-compatible agents without depending on a
third-party indexing service.
Also bump js-yaml, nanoid, and sharp in docs/site to clear three
high-severity advisories (quadratic YAML omap parsing, a zero-size
nanoid loop, and inherited libvips CVEs) flagged by npm audit while
touching the same lockfile.
Adds jobrunner (short alias jr) for running, listing, inspecting,
re-attaching to, and terminating detached background tasks. Unlike bkg
and detach, which discard output, a jobrunner job keeps a live terminal
that survives closing the shell and can be restored later with attach.
Includes the __jobrunner_sessions parser shared by the function and its
completions, dynamic job-name completions, and screen in the fish-deps
catalog.
Session logging is the one opinionated category that writes a persistent
record of terminal output to disk, and those logs can contain secrets.
Silent-by-default is the wrong posture for it, so C5 now defaults to off:
__fish_config_op_logging must be set to an explicit truthy value to enable
capture, and the master switch cannot enable it on its own.
Implemented as a single special case in __fish_config_op_enabled, so all
five capture components, the sentinel file, the paru/yay wrappers, the
Kitty watcher, and the config-settings TUI pick it up with no other code
changes. The existing startup sync in conf.d/logging-events.fish
reconciles the sentinel and removes the generated wrappers on the first
shell after upgrading.
BREAKING CHANGE: users relying on the previous default must now run
`set -U __fish_config_op_logging on`. Existing logs in ~/.terminal_history
are left untouched.
Wrapped the XDG variables and PATH setup in config.fish with the C3 overrides toggle so users can fully opt out. Updated the documentation (07-customization.md, 02-path-setup.md, README.md) to reflect this. Also added a Home link to the 404 page and removed a leftover test_sidebar.js file.
Rename the Starlight site to "Rootiest Fish Config" and switch its
canonical URL from the Cloudflare Pages subdomain to
fish-config.rootiest.fyi (now aliased in Cloudflare). Updates all
references in README, config-help, open-url, and the manual, and
regenerates the concat/man-page artifacts to match.
Function documentation now comes from functions/*.fish comment headers;
everything else stays in docs/manual/**. Records that split in the three
places a contributor looks:
- AGENTS.md "Documentation Policy" and Coding Convention #4, which now
spells out the full label set and flags CATEGORY as required-to-publish.
- Manual section 11, which pointed readers at docs/manual/ for everything.
- README, same.
docs/manual/** plus the Astro Starlight site (https://fish-config-docs.pages.dev/)
replace the Gitea wiki (docs/wiki/) and chunked offline HTML (docs/html/,
docs/html-style.html) as the published documentation surface. Retires the
now-unused docs/split-wiki.py and docs/split-manual.py generators alongside them.
- config-help --html now opens the published site root instead of resolving
a local sitemap anchor; when a keyword was given it prints a note that deep
links aren't available yet and to use the site's search box.
- open-url and docs/manual/05-functions/14-miscellaneous.md examples
repointed from docs/html/index.html to the site URL.
- docs/manual/11-viewing-this-manual.md rewritten to document the four
access paths: the website, the man page, in-terminal pager, and reading
docs/manual/** directly. fish-config.index updated to match the new
headings.
- README.md documentation section and Zoxide attribution link repointed at
the site; corrected the stale "single source file" claim about
fish-config.md.
- Regenerated docs/fish-config.md via build-manual.py --concat.
Relocate the Kitty scrollback watcher out of the single-purpose kitty/
directory into scripts/kitty-fish-config-watcher.py, and change the
installer to symlink it into the Kitty config directory instead of
copying it.
The symlink always tracks the canonical source, which removes the
version-staleness comparison and the copy-vs-refresh messaging. uninstall
now removes a symlink (including a dangling one) or a legacy copied file.
Existing installs migrate automatically on the next `kitty-logging install`.
Docs (README, docs/fish-config.md, wiki) updated to match.
Extract the user-dots symlink logic into the __fish_user_dots_link helper and
add a dedicated __fish_user_dots_symlink toggle, surfaced as a 'Dots link' bool
row on the config-settings Paths page. Unlike the opinionated categories it has
no universal/session split — it acts on a literal path.
Setting it falsy (or toggling off) stops symlink generation and removes any
existing link immediately, honoured regardless of the C2 master switch.
Creation remains a C2 startup side-effect. config.fish now calls the helper.
Docs: README, fish-config.md (C2 table, Paths page, machine-local section),
and fish-config.index updated.
Point $__fish_config_dir/user-dots at $__fish_user_dots_path on interactive
startup so the private overlay can be browsed from the fish config dir. The
link is created if missing and repointed if the path variable changes, only
ever managing a symlink (never clobbering a real file/dir). Gated as a C2
startup side-effect (__fish_config_op_autoexec) and git-ignored.
Docs: README overlay section and fish-config.md C2 table updated.
Extract the browser-detection and launch logic out of config-help into a
reusable open-url function, then build repo-open on top of it to open the
current repo's origin remote in a browser.
- open-url: resolve the best graphical browser (fish_help_browser -> BROWSER
-> xdg-mime https handler -> known binaries -> xdg-open) and launch it
backgrounded. Silent by default; -v/--verbose reports the browser, -s/--silent
is accepted explicitly. Browser console chatter is discarded.
- repo-open: normalize the origin URL from HTTPS and SSH/scp forms, deep-link
to the current branch (falling back to the remote default) and sub-directory.
Provider layout resolved via git config browse.provider, hostname heuristic
(github/gitlab/gitea/bitbucket, codeberg->gitea), then github default.
-p/--print emits the URL, -r/--root ignores the sub-directory.
- config-help: replace the inlined browser block with an open-url call.
- abbr: add open-repo and url-open abbreviations that expand to the canonical
command names on space/enter.
- docs: document both functions in the SSoT (fish-config.md + index) and add a
repo-open row to the README doc-browsing table.
- §1 Scrollback History: __fish_scrollback_history_* source-of-truth + exported
mirror, and the no-global-shadow rationale
- §Sponge History Filtering: __fish_sponge_extra_sensitive name tokens (--entire
match) and the tuning vars surfaced on the Sponge page
- config-settings function reference: four-page model, Tab/Shift-Tab, value rows
- index + README updated
Allow users to customize the location of their private overlay directory
via `set -U __fish_user_dots_path /your/path`. Falls back to the previous
hardcoded default of `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.user-dots/fish` when unset.
Simplify the sourcing model: config.fish now sources only local.fish,
which is responsible for sourcing its own secrets.fish companion. The
redundant direct sourcing of secrets.fish from config.fish is removed.
Update docs/fish-config.md (Sections 1, 7, 10) and README.md to
document the new variable, the custom-path override pattern, and the
simplified sourcing model.
Add the auto-pull function entry (5.4 Git) and index entry, a C2 component
reference row plus explanatory paragraph in fish-config.md, and update the
README C2 disable-list. (AGENTS.md C2 table, file tree, and task #12 are
tracked in the git-ignored AGENTS/ dir.)
The zellij wrapper (functions/zellij.fish) rewrote every `zellij`
invocation as `zellij options --theme catppuccin-mocha <args>`, which is
only valid for launching a new session. This mangled every subcommand,
including the `zellij action dump-screen` call inside _zellij_dump_log,
so no logs were ever produced. The theme is already set in config.kdl,
making the wrapper redundant — remove it.
Also harden _zellij_dump_log:
- dump-screen takes the file via stdout redirect, not a positional arg
(rejected by zellij 0.44) nor --path (server-side write, flaky)
- add --ansi to preserve color in the logs
- discard empty dumps instead of leaving junk files
Document the structural limitation: zellij can only snapshot on a clean
shell exit, unlike tmux's continuous pipe-pane stream. Closing a pane or
quitting zellij tears down the pane/server before it can be dumped.
Add a Session Logging section and a CAUTION callout to the README, and a
matching privacy notice to docs/fish-config.md, making clear that this
config logs terminal sessions (Kitty/tmux/zellij/paru/yay) to
~/.terminal_history by default. Point users at both the
__fish_config_op_logging variable and the interactive config-toggle TUI
for opting out.
Zellij has no live-stream facility like tmux pipe-pane, so capture is a
one-shot 'zellij action dump-screen --full' run from a fish_exit handler
(conf.d/zellij-logging.fish -> functions/_zellij_dump_log.fish). The C5
guard is checked inside the helper at exit time, so toggling logging
needs no sync_logging coordination — there is no persistent stream.
Extract pruning into functions/_prune_terminal_logs.fish, shared by both
the tmux and zellij helpers. This also fixes a latent bug in the tmux
helper: globbing tmux_*.log directly errored with 'No matches for
wildcard' on the first log in an empty dir. The shared helper globs via
'set' (tolerates no-match) and uses command ls/rm to bypass the eza and
trash C1 shadows.
Starts tmux pipe-pane capture for the current pane whenever fish
launches inside a tmux session. Each shell gets a timestamped log
in SCROLLBACK_HISTORY_DIR. Toggling __fish_config_op_logging stops
or restarts the pipe in all open fish shells via the existing
--on-variable event handlers.
Panel now selects from four width tiers based on $COLUMNS (with a 6-col
buffer per side before stepping up): 52-wide (default), 70, 74, or 78.
Each tier carries richer category descriptions sized to fit the layout.
The box is horizontally centered on every draw via a left-padding prefix.
Key reader switches from stty min 1 to min 0 / time 3, giving a 0.3 s
poll interval so COLUMNS changes are detected without a keypress. The
erase formula is now wrap-aware: prev_max_line_width / COLUMNS gives the
wrap factor, ensuring old wider panels are fully cleared after narrowing.
Idle timeout ticks that detect no resize are skipped entirely.
Promote config-toggle to a callout at the top of the Minimal Mode
section so users see the interactive UI before the variable table,
and drop the now-redundant tip at the bottom.
Adds 'Opinionated Components (Minimal Mode)' to docs/fish-config.md
with index keywords (opinionated, minimal, minimal-mode, opt-out,
toggles) and a Minimal Mode section with toggle table to README.md.
AGENTS.md Task #3 checklist ticked locally (file is git-ignored).
- Section keyword is now extracted early and shared across all three
output modes (pager, HTML, man) rather than duplicated per branch
- --html with a section keyword resolves the heading to a pandoc anchor
ID and looks it up in docs/html/sitemap.json; handles both sub-section
fragment paths and top-level sections that are their own page
- --man with a section keyword overrides MANPAGER to `less +/pattern`
so the page opens at the nearest heading match
- --help output updated to show [section] in USAGE and section+flag
examples (help config keybindings --html, help config pkg --man)
- docs/fish-config.md §5.14 synopsis, flags, and examples updated
- docs/fish-config.md §11 "Viewing" sections updated for both HTML and
man page to document the section+flag invocation
- README table updated with section+html and section+man rows
- help.fish: expand SYNOPSIS/DESCRIPTION to document -w/--html, -m/--man,
-h/--help flags; note flags are only intercepted when 'config' is argv[1]
- config-help.fish: add # NOTES section explaining help config as the
preferred invocation; update --help banner to show both names; update
--help USAGE/EXAMPLES output to use `help config` syntax throughout
- docs/fish-config.md: update §5.14 synopsis/examples and "Viewing" sections
to use `help config` as primary form; inline note for direct config-help use
- README.md: update docs table to show `help config --html` / `--man`
meaningful-ooo/sponge is now the one true Fisher-managed plugin,
giving the bootstrap a concrete purpose. Its files (and functions/fisher.fish,
completions/fisher.fish) are gitignored so Fisher owns them exclusively —
no committed/managed conflict possible.
Updates docs, index, requirements, and README to distinguish
Fisher-managed plugins from bundled customized ones.
Only jorgebucaran/fisher itself is in fish_plugins. The functionality
from catppuccin/fish, fzf.fish, done, autopair, and puffer-fish is
bundled directly with this config in modified form and must not be
installed or updated via fisher.
Removes sponge (not present), corrects file path mappings for bundled
components, fixes stale "Plugin sync failed" message in first_run.fish,
and expands fish-config.index with missing sections 9–11.
