Sometimes you get to use things in combination... #nushell #rustlang #nix #docker #kubernetes

so, anyone that has been using #nuShell for some time, how actually useful it is day to day, also how straightforward to port configurations to it (as someone who has a quite complicated .zshrc that sets a bunch of custom vars, and aliases)

#Nushell Niceties: Rolling Dice https://blog.mrhaki.com/2025/05/nushell-niceties-rolling-dice.html

In Nushell, you don’t even need to use `cd` to change directories, just type the path and go! ✨ #nushell

A terminal displaying command-line input, showing that the `cd` command itself is optional in Nushell. Simply entering a directory path will change to it

Can we please have one standard way to define shell completions, that is compatible with all shells?

I'm moving from zsh to nushell, and it's relatively new, and you have to configure completions by writing a lot of code, including a lot of files, it's a nightmare.

It's easier for older shells like zsh or fish only because other people already done it, and some packages include per-shell completions.

There is @carapace_sh which attempts to do the right thing, but having completions in the other place than actual app is not very good idea.

https://usage.jdx.dev/ is trying to do the same but differently, and it has a way for an app to provide a schema for completions. This is step in the right direction, but not many tools support this.

Has anyone tried to put this somehow on the shell level? E.q. app includes a file like `myapp.completions` , and shell have a module which reads the file and generates a list of completions based on user input.

The right way to do this, is probably by defining a standard cross-platform/cross-shell schema. And it can be read by the shell, or by the tool like carapace or usage...

#Linux #zsh #bash #nushell #fish #elvish

I was using #zsh for the last many years, and I have configured EVERYTHING the way I like.

- Auto-completions
- Per-directory history
- #McFly for Ctrl-R quick search
- Aliases

Now I'm moving to #nushell and I want to configure everything in the same way. But, per-directory history is either broken or non-existent: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/discussions/15670

People do not use per-directory history? This is AWESOME, every time you switch directory you have your entire relevant history at your fingertips. I recommend everyone to try it.

zsh has per-directory-history plugin (i was using oh-my-zsh)
#atuin has even better search, you can filter by workspace/directory/session/...

Atuin has solved missing/broken per-directory history partially, but god I want this to be default in all shells.

@andros totalmente de acuerdo. Aunque yo soy de la vieja escuela, y he de decirte que desde que uso #Powershell en #Linux awk y compañía me parecen herramientas “arcaicas”. Ya en su día me pasé a #Fish porque como piensan los de #Fish el estándar #POSIX está anticuado y no evoluciona… #NuShell me pareció interesante también, pero me pilló que me había acostumbrado a #Powershell ya.

I recently did a #nushell script to move #AWS EBS from one AZ to another. I wanted to move all the PVC of the StatefulSets in the same AZ for our devenv cluster in order to reduce network cost. Achievement unlocked:

Anyone has good resource recommendation for more advanced #nushell scripting? Every single time I just end up going back to Python 😬

Also seems like no LLM currently understands Nu at any reasonable level.

I finally after years meaning to spent like 2 hours messing around in #nushell and yep … I think I kinda love this

“Who could have predicted—based on my previous (~chronological) enthusiasms for perl, ruby, complex bash, jq, k8s, elixir, rust, & powershell—that I might have this reaction?!” 🤔

The fact that against an empty prompt I hit tab and quickly discovered `ansi gradient` really probably clenched it tho

Experimenting with #Nushell (https://www.nushell.sh) a bit, inspired by @mitchellh, especially that I

I always liked #PowerShell concept. Sticking to a 50 year old textual shell concept seems quite ridiculous today. But well, that's the power of long-time conventions & potential compatibility issues.

#Nushell seems to be a little bit "lighter" version of #PowerShell concept, but cross platform. I'm nerdy curious about it 🤓

This is my Ghostty config at the moment: https://gist.github.com/fastjack/ef5815ee655a0919ca942bb096ee0adc
It starts Nushell by default. I wish Ghostty had some kind of profiles so I could have profiles for other shells. Can't do everything in Nushell yet.
