Code Conventions

Style Guide

  • test > [...]
  • &&/|| > and/or
  • Conditionals
    • For simple conditionals use &&/||
      • Ex: test -n "$foo" && echo "foo is not empty"
      • Ex: foo || bar || baz
    • For anything more complex use if, else, and else if
  • Piping > command substitution (only when convenient, i.e no extra commands)

Naming Conventions

  • Everything should be in snake_case.
  • Anything exposed to the user (variables, files, functions) should begin with tide_.
  • If the user isn't meant to interact with it from the commandline, prepend an underscore.

Examples:

  • set -l split_pwd
  • set -U tide_right_prompt_items
  • _tide_detect_os.fish
  • _tide_print_item

Specific Naming Conventions

  • Items begin with _tide_item_
  • Subcommands begin with _tide_sub_

Makefile

Pretty self explanatory.

  • make all
  • make fmt
  • make lint
  • make install
  • make test

In general, just run make to do everything.

Specifics
