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?

    you can absolutely do what you want. GNU find is external and since it conflicts with a builtin can be aliased or referenced like ^find.

    the syntax is new for sure, and it’s not for everyone.

      I prefer flow to futz. Thanks for the info. Glad it’s working for you. I’m staying with what works well for me.

        You could also just alias find back to ^find. I don’t use nushell as my daily driver for other reasons, and I agree with the comment above that it’s a bit questionable for them to have a built-in with that name, but I don’t understand why you’d even try out a new shell, let alone one that’s radically different from POSIX-style shells, much less complain online about the shell you just tried, when you’re already happy with the shell you’re using and are not willing to adapt any habits or explore the configuration options to match your needs.
