Closes#5436
When I opened this issue more than a year ago, I mainly wanted the
following capacity: easily access the full env and have the hability to
update it when a new version of `nushell` comes out.
With this PR I can now do the following:
```nu
source-env ~/.config/nushell/defaults/env.nu
source ~/.config/nushell/defaults/config.nu
# Update nushell default config & env file (run this after a version update)
def update-defaults [] {
config env --default | save -f ~/.config/nushell/defaults/env.nu
config nu --default | save -f ~/.config/nushell/defaults/config.nu
}
```
Which is more than enough for me. Along with `nushell` respecting the
XDG spec on macOS (`dirs-next` should be banned for CLI tools on macOS),
this should be one of the last hurdle before fully switching for me!
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
Two new switches to existing commands:
```nu
config env --default # Print the default env embedded at compile time in the binary
config nu --default # Print the default config embedded at compile time in the binary
```
# 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
> ```

- Added a test for the output of `config env --default`
- Added a test for the output of `config nu --default`
# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
-->
Are the docs for commands generated automatically or do I need to make a
PR there too ? It's no problem if so, just point me at instructions if
there are any :)
