Nushell 0.114.1 Structured Data Shell for Windows
A cross-platform shell that treats tables, records and lists as structured pipeline data, with filtering, structured file access, configuration and external-command workflows.
What Nushell changes
Nushell represents directories, processes and structured files as tables, records and lists. Commands such as where, get and open work with fields and values instead of requiring every result to be split into text lines.
Compatibility boundary
Nushell has its own syntax, types, variables, redirection and error model. It can call external programs, but Bash, cmd and PowerShell scripts should be migrated step by step and tested with fixed versions rather than copied as if the pipeline models were interchangeable.
Configuration and plugins
$nu.config-path shows the current user configuration path. Start with a minimal, versioned config.nu, preserve PowerShell or cmd as a recovery entry and review plugins as independent programs that can process input and access system resources.

Nushell Windows structured-pipeline guide
Explore tables, records and lists with read-only queries before adapting scripts or changing the default shell.
Before you start
- Keep PowerShell or cmd as a recovery entry and avoid replacing the login shell on the first run.
- Prepare a JSON, TOML or CSV sample without keys for type and field inspection.
- Version-control configuration and scripts, record the current version and keep a rollback copy.
Installation steps
- 01
Install the MSI
Verify the Windows x64 package and version, install it and open a new terminal to run nu and inspect the version.
- 02
Locate configuration
Run `$nu.config-path`, back up the default config.nu and make one small change at a time from a minimal configuration.
- 03
Test external commands
Call a few ordinary Windows programs and check paths, arguments, exit codes and output conversion in Nushell.
Quick start
- 01
Filter a directory table
Run ls to view structured columns, then use where to filter by type or size while keeping the result in the pipeline.
- 02
Open structured data
Use open on a sample TOML, JSON or CSV file, access fields with get and confirm number, boolean, date and null types.
- 03
Write a minimal script
Save a read-only query as a Nu script, handle empty results and errors explicitly, then test before writing files or invoking networks.
Usage tips
- Parse text output explicitly before moving it into a structured pipeline; screen appearance is not a type guarantee.
- Pin versions for automation because commands and design may continue to evolve.
- Review plugin source and permissions before installation because a plugin is an independent executable.
Troubleshooting and uninstall
A Bash or PowerShell pipeline fails in Nushell. What should I do?
Split the pipeline, inspect actual value types and rewrite filtering and field access with Nushell commands instead of only renaming commands.
Nushell does not start after a config change. How can I recover?
Use the preserved PowerShell or cmd entry to restore a minimal configuration, then enable sections one at a time while reading the error.
- Restore the shell and uninstallRestore and verify PowerShell or cmd if startup settings changed, uninstall from system app management and clean Nu configuration or plugins after backing them up.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Nushell different from a text-oriented shell?
Its pipelines carry tables, records and lists as structured values, so filtering and field access can operate on types and columns.
Can Bash or PowerShell scripts be copied directly into Nushell?
Treat them as migration work because syntax, types, variables, redirection and error handling differ even when external programs are shared.
How can the current configuration path be found?
Run `$nu.config-path`, then back up the file and begin from a minimal versioned configuration.
