+## my fish config
+
+# dependencies
+
+´´´
+- fish
+- stow
+- git
+- make
+´´´
+
+Install these dependencies, then ```git clone https://git.k4li.me/pika/fish.git && cd fish/´´´
+
+# installation
+
+Installation is done via stow which is done via the makefile. Just do ´´´make´´´ for installation and ´´´make remove´´´ for deinstallation. Be sure to backup your existing fish config, as stow will make a symlink to your '$HOME/.config' dir and thus it has to be empty.
