# Description
This PR fixes a small bug where `$nu.startup-time` wasn't being stored
when nushell was launched with `nu -c`.
# User-Facing Changes
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr

# Description
in https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8311 and the discord
server, the idea of moving the default banner from the `rust` source to
the `nushell` standar library has emerged 😋
however, in order to do this, one need to have access to all the
variables used in the default banner => all of them are accessible
because known constants, except for the startup time of the shell, which
is not anywhere in the shell...
#### this PR adds exactly this, i.e. the new `startup_time` to the `$nu`
variable, which is computed to have the exact same value as the value
shown in the banner.
## the changes
in order to achieve this, i had to
- add `startup_time` as an `i64` to the `EngineState` => this is, to the
best of my knowledge, the easiest way to pass such an information around
down to where the banner startup time is computed and where the `$nu`
variable is evaluated
- add `startup-time` to the `$nu` variable and use the `EngineState`
getter for `startup_time` to show it as a `Value::Duration`
- pass `engine_state` as a `&mut`able argument from `main.rs` down to
`repl.rs` to allow the setter to change the value of `startup_time` =>
without this, the value would not change and would show `-1ns` as the
default value...
- the value of the startup time is computed in `evaluate_repl` in
`repl.rs`, only once at the beginning, and the same value is used in the
default banner 👌
# User-Facing Changes
one can now access to the same time as shown in the default banner with
```bash
$nu.startup-time
```

startup nushell with no config file or env file...
This PR gives the ability to start up nushell easily with no config or
env config files
simply by passing in
```rust
nu -n
```
or
```rust
nu --no-config-file
```
A bonus is that startup times for nushell decreases FIVE fold...
From about > 50ms to less than < 10ms on average on my mac
This will enable Part II which will hopefully be the ability to
to send this flag into the nu! macro and turn off loading of the config
files...
Remember when config files are enabled the nu-cmd-lang tests fail
because the
commands in the config files are a superset of the commands in
nu-cmd-lang...
In my preliminary tests before by zeroing out the config files the
nu-cmd-lang tests passed...
Independent of the cratification efforts I have always wanted a way
anyway to turn off loading
the config files when starting up nushell... So this accomplishes that
task...
As usual, Rust optimizes a bit less if more function boundaries are
introduced.
However, in my opinion, being able to comprehend the decision tree beats
a couple of string allocations.
