SDKMAN! for fish

Makes command sdk from SDKMAN! usable from fish, including auto-completion. Also adds binaries from installed SDKs to the PATH.

Version 2.1.0 has been tested with

• fish 3.7 and
• SDKMAN! 5.18.2 on
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and macOS 14.4

Install

With fisher (install separately):

fisher install reitzig/[email protected]

Note:

• Only compatible with fisher v4 upwards; v3 is no longer supported.
• You have to install SDKMAN! separately.
• If you have installed SDKMAN! at a custom location, you need to either
  • set environment variable SDKMAN_DIR to that path using your preferred method, or
  • add

    set -g __sdkman_custom_dir /your/path/to/sdkman
    

    to a fish config file run before .config/fish/conf.d/sdk.fish; for example, you can use .config/fish/conf.d/config_sdk.fish.
  • If both are set, __sdkman_custom_dir is used.

Usage

It's all in the background; you should be able to run sdk and binaries installed with sdk as you would expect.

Contribute

When you propose changes, please run the tests at least on one platform before creating a pull request.

As the tests may mess up your machine -- you have been warned! -- the recommended way is to run them in a Docker container:

docker build -t sdkman-for-fish-tests -f test/Dockerfile .
docker run --rm -it sdkman-for-fish-tests

A run configuration for Jetbrains IDEs is included.

It is a also possible to run individual features, for instance:

docker run --rm sdkman-for-fish-tests features/completions.feature
