Welcome to Nushell!

## Developing
### Setup
Nushell requires a recent Rust toolchain and some dependencies; [refer to the Nu Book for up-to-date requirements](https://www.nushell.sh/book/installation.html#build-from-source). After installing dependencies, you should be able to clone+build Nu like any other Rust project:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nushell/nushell
cd nushell
cargo build
```
### Useful Commands
- Build and run Nushell:
```shell
cargo run
```
- Build and run with extra features. Currently extra features include dataframes and sqlite database support.
```shell
cargo run --features=extra
```
- Run Clippy on Nushell:
```shell
cargo clippy --workspace --features=extra -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A clippy::needless_collect
```
- Run all tests:
```shell
cargo test --workspace --features=extra
```
- Run all tests for a specific command
```shell
cargo test --package nu-cli --test main -- commands::<command_name_here>
```
- Check to see if there are code formatting issues
```shell
cargo fmt --all -- --check
```
- Format the code in the project
```shell
cargo fmt --all
```
### Debugging Tips
- To view verbose logs when developing, enable the `trace` log level.
```shell
cargo run --release --features=extra -- --log-level trace
```
