Nushell
A new type of shell.
Pipelines to control any OS
Nu works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Learn it once, then use it anywhere.
Everything is data
Nu pipelines use structured data so you can safely select, filter, and sort the same way every time. Stop parsing strings and start solving problems.
Powerful plugins
It's easy to extend Nu using a powerful plugin system.
# Nu works with existing data
Nu speaks JSON, YAML, XML, Excel and more out of the box. It's easy to bring data into a Nu pipeline whether it's in a file, a database, or a web API:
# Nu has great error messages
Nu operates on typed data, so it catches bugs that other shells don't. And when things break, Nu tells you exactly where and why:
