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.                       │
           . . .
├────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  # │            name             │                                usage                           │
╰────┴─────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

🧰 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 command.

You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std prefix, e.g:

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.

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.
