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?

    The usual problems with parsing ls don’t happen here because Nu’s ls builtin returns properly typed data.

    Isn’t that the point that the previous commenter was making by linking that answer? I read their comment as “here is why you should use Nu shell instead of parsing ls output.”
