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
  • tide_install

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.

Release

Note that Tide does not use strict semantic versioning.

Todo on release:

  • Update _tide_version in install script.
  • Create a commit containing above edit, titled with the version number.
  • Create release on github with information from changelog.
