## What it is
Oh My Fish is a framework for the Fish shell that provides core infrastructure for installing packages and themes that extend or modify the shell's look and behavior. It includes a package manager (omf) and a large ecosystem of community themes and plugins.

## Use cases
- customize my fish shell prompt with a theme
- install plugins for the fish shell
- manage fish shell configuration packages
- make my terminal prompt show git status
- find a fish shell alternative to oh-my-zsh
- create and share fish shell packages

## When to choose
- you use the Fish shell and want easy theme and plugin management
- you want a package manager for shell customization similar to oh-my-zsh
- you want a rich prompt with git-aware themes like bobthefish

## When to avoid
- the project is unmaintained and some themes/packages are broken
- you use bash or zsh instead of fish
- you need actively maintained tooling with timely bug fixes

- function: developer-tools, plugin-system, cli
