# 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.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
