Nushell is so great! I’ve been using it for a couple years. It has completely replaced my need for tools like grep, sed, awk, etc. and because it handles JSON and so many other data formats natively I rarely even need to think about parsing.
I’ve always struggled with actually retaining knowledge on how to use the myriad tools you’d usually need to extract/parse data (awk, sed and friends) and this was a game changer. I don’t quite daily drive it just yet but when I do need it, it’s vastly more ergonomic.
While jc is a great tool, and I’m definitely a fan, I believe the real solution to the overarching problem lies in a paradigm shift: see nushell

I actually use both! It’s so nice to just
jc git logand then work with the data using nushell :)Oh that’s smart! And then nushell just handles the data for you…I might try that!
Thank you for bringing up nushell, had never heard of it
