# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.
Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or
screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience.

This is inspired by the Unix tee command, but significantly more
powerful. Rather than just writing to a file, you can do any kind of
stream operation that Nushell supports within the closure.
The equivalent of Unix `tee -a file.txt` would be, for example, `command
| tee { save -a file.txt }` - but of course this is Nushell, and you can
do the same with structured data to JSON objects, or even just run any
other command on the system with it.
A `--stderr` flag is provided for operating on the stderr stream from
external programs. This may produce unexpected results if the stderr
stream is not then also printed by something else - nushell currently
doesn't. See #11929 for the fix for that.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
If someone was using the system `tee` command, they might be surprised
to find that it's different.
# 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
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
