## Description just a little refactor of `CONTRIBUTING.md` of the standard library in `nu-std`. - see the new version [here](https://github.com/amtoine/nushell/blob/stblib/refactor/CONTRIBUTING-guidelines/crates/nu-std/CONTRIBUTING.md). > **Note** > actually, that one might be best reviewed commit by commit 😋 > i tried to be as explicit as possible 😌 - i fixed the width to `80` columns - cc/ @bobhy, if you want to jump in and find broken links / bad changes

Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!

|
|
|
|
The standard library is a pure-`nushell` collection of custom commands which
|
|
provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.
|
|
|
|
To see what's here:
|
|
```
|
|
> use std
|
|
> help commands | select name usage | where name =~ "std "
|
|
╭────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
|
|
│ # │ name │ usage │
|
|
├────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
|
|
│ 0 │ std assert │ Universal assert command │
|
|
│ 1 │ std assert equal │ Assert $left == $right │
|
|
. . .
|
|
│ 11 │ std clip │ put the end of a pipe into the system clipboard. │
|
|
│ 12 │ std dirs add │ Add one or more directories to the list. │
|
|
. . .

## :toolbox: Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts
|
|
All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment
|
|
(the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a `.nu` script) using the
|
|
[`use`](https://nushell.sh/commands/docs/use.html) command.
|
|
|
|
You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a `std` prefix, e.g:
|
|
```nushell
|
|
use std
|
|
|
|
std log debug "Running now"
|
|
std assert (1 == 2)
|
|
```
|
|
Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the `std` prefix.
|
|
```nushell
|
|
use std ["log debug" assert]
|
|
|
|
log debug "Running again"
|
|
assert (2 == 1)
|
|
```
|
|
This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your `env.nu` for interactive use.
