Code Conventions

Style Guide

test > [...]
printf > echo
&&/|| > and/or
Conditionals
- For simple conditionals use &&/||
  - Ex: test -n "$foo" && echo "foo is not empty"
- For anything more complex use if, else, and else if
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_
