Fish has no specific support for "themes" (really we'd call them "prompts" probably). It's all just functions. So: You take the function files like fish_prompt.fish and fish_right_prompt.fish and such, and drop them in ~/.config/fish/functions. That allows fish's autoloading mechanism to find these functions by name and use them as the prompt. If you had a package manager that would be doing this for you. I would argue against this particular theme because it's unmaintained, and I think I recall it being broken. |
