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/whatever is giving me a headache. Actually just thinking about awk is 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 find builtin isn’t a GNU find repacement. I think what you actually want is ls piped into where:

      ls **/* | where type == file

      I do question the choice to alias a well-known program with a builtin that does something entirely different. You can also use ^find to avoid calling the builtin. I would’ve expected \find (bash-like) or command 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!

        not my jam, but I appreciate that. I used to do ‘find ./ | grep -i string’ forever. I’ve come to prefer the more robust usage of ‘find’ these days, -type, -iname, etc.
