Code Conventions

Style Guide

if > and or or
test > [...]
printf > echo
Long forms of flags > short forms
- Exceptions: set, set_color, function foo -a, "common knowledge" options for commands like rm -r
- Note that MacOS utils often do not support long flags, in which case one should use the short option
Piping > command substitution (only when convenient, i.e no extra commands)

Naming Conventions

Local variables should be named in camelCase.

set -l numberOfNewlines

Anything exposed to the shell or user--functions, global/universal variables, and files--should be named in snake_case, beginning with tide_. Prepend an underscore if the user in not meant to interact directly with it.

set -g _tide_left_prompt_height
set -U tide_right_prompt_items
_tide_count_left_prompt_height.fish
_tide_right_prompt

Specific Naming Conventions

Items begin with _tide_item_
Subcommands begin with _tide_sub_

Testing

Dependencies

fisher - plugin manager for fish
spout - 100% pure-fish TAP-based test runner
clownfish - override the behavior of commands

You can quickly install all necessary dependencies using tide test -i.

tide test runs tests from the $_tide_dir/tests directory.

Example:

tide test status

You can run the full test suite with the -a/--all flag.

tide test -a

Some tests are designed for a CI machine and will not necessarily run on any working Tide install. These tests can be run using the --CI flag.

Linting

Code linting is done via fish --no-execute.

Markdown and Yaml linting is done via the Super-Linter action, which uses Markdownlint and Yamllint.

Formatting

Code formatting is done via fish_indent.

Markdown and Yaml formatting is done via Prettier.

Documentation Conventions

All links should be in the reference style, with references at the bottom of the document in alphabetical order.
