Nu Shell Reviews and Details

Is Nu Shell good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• NuShell - Ceci n'est pas une |

  These are just three small examples of what this shell written in Rust allows. The features are many and many more, but I'll leave it up to you to discover and enjoy them; I'm currently playing around with it and it's giving me a lot of satisfaction and immediacy, now it has a fixed place among the tools I use when working! The project is Open Source, so if you want to contribute, I invite you, as always, to do... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Fish shell 3.7.0: last release branch before the full Rust rewrite

  Any thoughts on fish as compared to nushell [0]? It's similar to PowerShell in its philosophy and is also written in Rust. [0] https://github.com/nushell/nushell. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Any new Opensource projects in (rust) looking for contributors. I want to start my journey as an OSS contributor.

  I've contributed to rust-analyzer and nushell and had a great experience in both! Tons of open issues with a huge range of difficulties, and the maintainers are really helpful in providing hints to get started. Source: about 3 years ago

• [Media] shrs: a shell that is configurable and extensible in rust

  Hey OP, figured out you might want to take a look at Nushell: https://github.com/nushell/nushell. Source: about 3 years ago

• AICMD - Write commands using natural language assisted by AI. Free of charge!

  I'm curious if there's been consideration for nushell. That's the shell I've been hoping would develop enough to be my daily driver going forward. Source: over 3 years ago

• Rust-shell: what features you would you like to see in a shell ?

  I don't understand what you mean by Graphics integration or graphical frontend. Do you have an example? Instead of du - I recommend dust. The data features - are basically the features of nushell, are you using it? Regarding the variables - excellent idea, I will implement this. What do you mean by menu creation? What syntax would you use for "skip next line"? Source: over 3 years ago

• Where should I adventure myself

  Maybe you are interested in contributing to nushell, since you mentioned shells. Source: over 3 years ago

• What's your preferred shell & why?

  I use bash and always have, but recently I've been interested in switching to either nushell and es for interactive use. Source: over 3 years ago

• Rust-ify Linux/GNU/macOS terminal tools

  Bash repalcement (more like powershell) - Nushell. - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago

• Bash 5.2 released [LWN.net]

  More of an entirely new approach to shell workflows than a bash rewrite but nushell is written in Rust. Personally I think this is a better approach in the long run, although it will take a very long time to replace the default shell on most distros. Bash has some pretty nasty footguns built-in which makes it less beginner-friendly than would be ideal for such an essential part of the linux experience. Source: almost 4 years ago

• can i remote access windows desktop from linux laptop?

  I use fish but probably will switch to nushell, it’s great. Https://github.com/nushell/nushell. Source: about 4 years ago

• Let's share our ideas, misery and favorite features

  I know some of them, but those that I checked out are not in the sense of what I meant by GUI programming languages. Describing logic in text works great, therefor I see no reason to change it, but having everything in text files seems dowdy. Since a couple of days there is a prototype called nana to create a GUI terminal which builds up on [Nushell[(https://github.com/nushell/nushell). I already love the idea,...

• What API or program would you like to see re-implemented on top of another platform?

  There already are projects on doing "object based shell" in Linux, of course one being powershell core itself, but also things like jc which coexist with current bash-alike, nushell which are whole replacements, and others I forget because I only use these three to scratch my itch.

• Ask HN: Why are there so many companies trying to reinvent the terminal (badly)?

  Is even worse. Is the same old, bad, ancient, archaic, obsolete, terminal thingy with a small improvement (https://github.com/nushell/nushell is the only I see that are half-there). And it existed MUCH better tools for interactive programming (of the past) to copy instead. - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal for the modern age

  Check out https://github.com/nushell/nushell if you want an open, non-telemetry based shell that you can hack. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Fish 3.4.0

  I've been using fish for 2 years now and I pretty much live in the terminal. I would feel handicapped without it. Just use fish and use shebangs `#!/bin/sh` (which should be in your scripts anyways) and you can keep writing/running POSIX scripts all day. I think it's the best option until nushell[0] is ready. As an added bonus now that you don't use bash interactively you can substitute dash[1] and increase the... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Looking to help out with an open source project

  I'm also new to Rust, and I've been contributing to Nushell. Very cool project, and doing stuff like adding commands is relatively easy. Source: over 4 years ago

• Is there a rust way for doing TDD?

  4: I don't think most projects measure coverage, but generally speaking all popular Rust projects have some tests. Have a look at regex, rustup or nushell. Source: over 4 years ago

• Top Github repo trends in 2021

  There are also some new shells in the list, including Tabbyand Nushell, which both had around 7K stars, though Nushell is a much newer project. - Source: dev.to / over 4 years ago

• NeoSH is looking for contributors!

  Might want to add something about why someone would want this over something like say NuShell. Only thing I'm seeing right now seems to be the Lua thing.. Which is kind of irrelevant to me anyway. Thanks. Source: over 4 years ago
