# Description
This PR removes the old `touch` command in favor of the uutils/coreutils
implementation of `touch`, which we integrated in 0.101 (#11817).
It turns out that in `utouch`, the `--no-deref`/`-s` wasn't working, and
the issue had gone undetected because I accidentally made the test for
that use `touch` rather than `utouch`. This has been fixed now.
# User-Facing Changes
Our old `touch` command didn't have anything that the new uutils-based
command doesn't, and the uutils-based command actually has a little more
functionality. So nothing using `touch` should break.
Scripts using `utouch` will have to use `touch` now, but given that
`utouch` has been around for less than 2 months, I assume people haven't
really been using it.
# Tests + Formatting
The utouch tests seem to have everything from the old touch tests, so I
deleted the old touch tests.
# After Submitting
This will need to be mentioned in the release notes.
# Description
These changes resolve#13623 where globs are not handled by `utouch`.
# User-Facing Changes
- Glob patterns passed to `utouch` will be resolved to all individual
files that match the pattern. For example, running `utouch *.txt` in a
directory that already has `file1.txt` and `file2.txt` is the same thing
as running `utouch file1.txt file2.txt`. All flags such as `-a`, `-m`
and `-c` will be respected.
- If a glob pattern is provided to `utouch` and doesn't match any files,
a file will be created with the literal name of the glob pattern. This
only applies to Linux/MacOS because Windows forbids creating file names
with restricted characters (see [naming a file
docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file))

Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing

This PR adds a `utouch` command that uses the `touch` command from
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils. Eventually, `utouch` may be able to
replace `touch`.
The conflicts in Cargo.lock and Cargo.toml are because I'm using the
uutils/coreutils main rather than the latest release, since the changes
that expose `uu_touch`'s internal functionality aren't available in the
latest release.

# 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` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` to run the tests for the standard library
