I've been trying nushell and words fail me. It's like it was made for actual humans to use! 🤯 🤯 🤯
It even repeats the column headers at the end of the table if the output takes more than your screen...
Trying to think of how to do the same thing with
awk/grep/sort/whateveris giving me a headache. Actually just thinking aboutawkis giving me a headache. I think I might be allergic.I'm really curious, what's your favorite shell? Have you tried other shells than your distro's default one? Are you an awk wizard or do you run away very fast whenever it's mentioned?
Uh, this is dumb. I installed it and did a few things I would do on a normal basis. You're telling me that this is not supported? It's absolutely insane.
Nu's
findbuiltin isn't a GNUfindrepacement. I think what you actually want islspiped intowhere:I do question the choice to alias a well-known program with a builtin that does something entirely different. You can also use
^findto avoid calling the builtin. I would've expected\find(bash-like) orcommand find(fish-like) to work as well, but alas...I don't think that's what I'd actually want, no. I want GNU find functionality for this to be a viable shell replacement. It's... neat, but it's no daily driver.
back to /bin/zsh for me!
I switched from GNU
findtofd2 years ago, unbeknownst to me at the time, this unlocked nu as a daily driver, which I’ve really enjoyed for the past year. I do fire up zsh semi-regularly when needed to escape some hairbrained corners. Scripting in nu is very nice thanks to the data manipulation and closure support. So nice to move from text manipulation to semantic structuring.
