Today, we're releasing 0.37 of Nu. This release adds a new find function,
improvements to the current engine, and updates on the upcoming engine.
What's New
finding data in tables
In 0.37, you now have access to a new find command, which can help you quickly
look for data across all columns in a table.
You can still reach your system's find command using ^ by typing ^find.
Additional improvements
-fdncred added more support for ansi art, and more chars
-aminya removed shelling out in some cases where it's not needed
-jt made sys/ps/fetch/post core commands, moving them from plugins to internal
commands. This allows for future capability to have nushell download its own
extensions.
-andrasio began adding support for creating errors inside of nushell code,
extended tags to support basic command reflection
-lily-mara added into filesize
-tw4452852 added support to append when calling save
-Pantoshire improved errors when bash-style alias was mistakingly used
-tranzystorek-io did a lot of general code improvements
-kubouch did some fixes to paths and the source command
-elferherrera updated the prompt environment variable to PROMPT_COMMAND to show
that it is nushell code that gets run
Hello, and welcome to the Nushell project. The goal of this project is to take
the Unix philosophy of shells, where pipes connect simple commands together, and
bring it to the modern style of development.
Nu takes cues from a lot of familiar territory: traditional shells like bash,
advanced shells like PowerShell, functional programming, systems programming,
and more. But rather than trying to be the jack of all trades, Nu focuses its
energy on doing a few things well:
-Create a flexible cross-platform shell with a modern feel
-Allow you to mix and match commandline applications with a shell that
understands the structure of your data
-Have the level of UX polish that modern CLI apps provide
The easiest way to see what Nu can do is to start with some examples, so let's
