## What it is
Fisher is a plugin manager for the Fish interactive shell, written entirely in Fish script. It installs, updates, lists, and removes shell plugins from GitHub, GitLab, or local directories with zero configuration and no shell startup overhead.

## Use cases
- install fish shell plugins from github
- manage my fish shell configuration across machines
- update all installed fish plugins at once
- pin a specific version of a fish plugin
- remove fish plugins cleanly
- install fish plugins from a local directory

## When to choose
- you use Fish as your shell and want fast, zero-config plugin management
- you want repeatable Fish configurations across systems
- you need compatibility with Oh My Fish plugins

## When to avoid
- you use bash or zsh instead of Fish
- you need a general-purpose shell framework rather than a plugin manager
