NuShell (often shortened to “Nu”) is a modern, cross-platform shell written in Rust that treats all data as structured tables rather than plain text. It supports pipelines on rich typed data, has built-in commands for JSON/CSV/SQL/excel, and offers scripting, autocompletion, scoped variables, and strong error handling—bridging the gap between shell scripting and programming.

Features

  • Treats outputs as structured typed tables rather than text streams
  • Rich built-in commands (e.g., ls, ps, fetch, where, sort-by) for structured data manipulation
  • Strong scripting language with immutable variables, loops, functions
  • Excellent autocompletion, diagnostic error messages, and exploration mode
  • Extensible plugin system and support for multiple data formats (JSON, CSV, YAML, Excel)
  • Cross-platform support on Linux, macOS, BSD, and Windows
