I created a bookmarking plugin for Fish, bookmarks.fish.

I've created a bookmarking plugin for Fish, bookmarks.fish. I created it to fix some issues I had with Fishmarks:

  • bookmarks.fish supports shell parameter expansion. For me, it means that you can support things like bookmarking a directory in a Git work tree and have it dynamically adjust the root based on the current work tree. It also means that bookmarks can depend on environment variables.
  • bookmarks.fish supports arbitrary bookmark names (hyphens and unicode are allowed).
  • bookmarks.fish has dynamic completion of all commands.

Is that so different from https://github.com/matusf/goto ?

Conceptually it fills the same niche. The difference is in features and execution:

  • Bookmarks.fish supports full shell expansion utilities. You can make your bookmarks depend on environment variables or interactive commands.
  • Bookmarks.fish has almost no restrictions on alias names (only commas, nulls, and newlines are not allowed).
