# Creating To learn package creation let's create a new package that will provide a `hello_world` command for your shell. Package names may only contain lowercase letters and hyphens to separate words. Oh My Fish can scaffold a package structure for you. Use the command `omf new`: ```fish $ omf new pkg hello_world ``` > Use `omf new theme my_theme_name` for themes. The utily changes the current directory to the newly created package: ``` $ ls -l README.md hello_world.fish completions/hello_world.fish ``` Always describe how your package works in the `README.md`. Also read more about [auto completion](http://fishshell.com/docs/current/commands.html#complete) and also take care to provide it for your utilities when applicable. `hello_world.fish` defines a single function: ```fish function hello_world -d "Prints hello world" echo "Hello World!" end ``` Each function in your package must be declared in its own file. This is required by fish autoloading mechanism, which loads functions on demand, avoiding loading unused functions. Bear in mind that fish lacks a private scope, so if you need to split your package into functions, consider prefixing private functions like this: `__hello_world.my_extra_function`, to avoid both name clashes and global namespace pollution. # Events Packages were designed to take advantages of fish events. There are currently two events that Oh My Fish will emit to your package: ## Initialization If you want to be [notified](http://fishshell.com/docs/current/commands.html#emit) when your package loads, declare the following function in your `hello_world.fish`: ```fish function init -a path --on-event init_hello_world echo "hello_world initialized" end ``` Use this event to modify the environment, load resources, autoload functions, etc. If your package does not export any functions, you can still use this event to add functionality to your package. ## Uninstall Oh My Fish emits `uninstall_
