fisher: Install a plugin from a GitHub gist.
$ fisher ${gist_url}
try on your machine

This command is likely used in a script or command-line interface in a programming language, where ${gist_url} is a placeholder for the actual URL of a Gist (a code snippet or file hosted on GitHub's Gist platform).

The command fisher is likely the name of a tool or script being invoked here. Without more context, it is difficult to determine exactly what this tool does. However, based on conventions, it is likely related to managing packages, dependencies or plugins, as such tools often have names like "fisher" or "fisherman" in the context of the fish shell.

The ${gist_url} represents the actual URL of a Gist as an argument or parameter to the fisher tool or script. By providing the URL of a Gist, it may perform actions like fetching and installing the code or files from that Gist. The specific functionality would depend on the tool being used and its purpose.
