Support for Ver0.60.0

Building the fastest Windows terminal environment with Nushell + Starship

------------------- ↓ The main topic starts here ↓-------------------

It has been several years since I started using Nushell + StarShip.
I had memorized the commands and was using them comfortably, but then something shocking happened.

The arrival of Ver. 0.60.0

I am not sure if they rebuilt it from scratch, but the internals have changed completely.
I don't think it will work if you follow the installation steps from my previous article (I haven't tested it). So, this time, I decided to build the environment for the new version.

------------------- ↓ The main topic starts here ↓-------------------

Installing winget

The installation of Nushell itself hasn't changed much.
This assumes your Windows 10 is up to date.

Install the App Installer from the Microsoft Store.

Installing Nushell

Install via winget.
Close PowerShell once to adjust the PATH.
I will also install gsudo since I need administrative privileges.

powershell
winget install gsudo
gsudo winget install Nushell.Nushell
exit

Launching Nushell

Restart PowerShell and launch Nushell.
On the first launch, it will ask if you want to create a configuration file; select y.

powershell
nu --version
 0.60.0
nu

(･o･) Maybe it became more colorful?

Exit back to PowerShell for now.

nushell
exit

Installing StarShip

Since StarShip is now registered in winget, I will install it via that.

powershell
winget install Starship.Starship

Restart the terminal to apply the PATH settings. Restart PowerShell, then launch Nushell to verify the path.

powershell
nu
starship --version
  03/26/2022 10:28:11 PM
  starship 1.5.4
  tag:v1.5.4
  commit_hash:d420a63e
  build_time:2022-03-24 19:26:50 +00:00
  build_env:rustc 1.59.0 (9d1b2106e 2022-02-23),stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Configuring StarShip

Set it up so StarShip launches when Nushell starts.
Previously, it felt like setting a startup prompt, but this time it seems the flow is to write it into the configuration file.

nushell
mkdir ~/.cache/starship/
starship init nu | save ~/.cache/starship/init.nu
echo "source ~/.cache/starship/init.nu\n"| save --append ($nu.config-path)

Restart NuShell.

(･∀･) Fixed!

------------------- ↓ Postscript starts here ↓-------------------

For now, it seems like I can continue using it even with the new version.
Although all the commands I had memorized so far have been discarded, I guess I will just take my time learning them again.

I have written about installing fonts and Linux-style commands in my previous article, so please take a look at that as well.
