I track and version my Nushell environment and configuration in a public repository.

I added a GitHub Actions workflow that tests these files. That will ensure a more defined environment and prerequisites/assumptions, given that they have to be set up in the workflow configuration. Given that I mostly work on Windows, but set up the CI to run on Linux/Ubuntu, it will also ensure platform neutrality.

Since Nushell version 0.101.0, there's no need for a default, base env.nu or config.nu, and the nu binary can be called with only the custom, minimal env and config files.

The nu binary offers --env-config and --config parameters.

I noticed that when using them, errors do not lead to error exist codes; nu will continue execution and report success despite env or config not loading [correctly]. (Bug Ticket #14745)

Do you version your environment configuration? Only locally, or with a hosted repository as a backup or to share? Do you run automated tests on it?

• Simplified Startup Configuration
• path self
• chunk-by
• term query
• merge deep
• WASM support (again)
• sys net inclueds new columns mac and ip
• raw string pattern matching
• dates can now be added to durations
• additional explore keybinds
• version in startup banner
• input --default
• PowerShell script invocation on Windows
• new introspection tools

Breaking Changes:

• ++ operator, stricter command signature parsing (resolves silent parse errors)
• group-by now supports "groupers" (multiple criteria)
• timeit
• sys cpu
• from csv and from tsv
• std/iter scan
• completion sorting in custom completers, import module naming with normalization
• display_output hook
• du flag changes
• Code specific environment variables updated during source

Command dl opus to download highest quality audio as or into an opus file through yt-dlp.

Add to config.nu:

# Download highest quality Opus audio as/into .opus file
def "dl opus" [url: string] {
    yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-quality 0 --audio-format opus $"($url)"
}

Usage:

dl opus <url>

I have set up dl as an alias for yt-dlp via alias dl = yt-dlp. The def above adds an overlaying sub-command.
