  I actually use both! It’s so nice to just jc git log and then work with the data using nushell :)

    Oh that’s smart! And then nushell just handles the data for you…I might try that!

  I’ve always struggled with actually retaining knowledge on how to use the myriad tools you’d need to extract/parse data (awk, sed and friends) and this was a game changer. I don’t quite daily drive it just yet but when I do need it, it’s vastly more ergonomic.

    love to read fellow* people in the unix world discovering what made powershell great 10+ years ago as though it’s a paradigm shift. and the top comment of the thread is still nitpicking the points in the post while missing the forest for the trees. I mean ifconfig as an example is lol but still.

    like powershell’s got such bizarre warts and design choices and it’s more ergonomic than unstructured text pipelines despite that

    i know it’s not that simple but still, lol

    *linux has been my primary os for 9+ years, not throwing stones here

  Nushell is so great! I’ve been using it for a couple years. It has completely replaced my need for tools like grep, sed, awk, etc. and because it handles JSON and so many other data formats natively I rarely even need to think about parsing.
