nushell⮳ (or Nu) is a modern shell designed with a focus on structured data and a powerful, consistent language.

Unlike traditional shells that primarily handle text, Nu treats data as structured tables, enabling users to easily query, filter, and manipulate information directly within the shell. Its language combines familiar shell concepts with a more structured syntax, allowing for complex data processing pipelines. Nu also allows users to define custom commands and integrate with external tools.
