Extend nupm using nupm.

nupm-porcelain doesnt do much but it is an example nupm package

Comments welcome. March 2024

0. Install nushell if not installed

nushell.sh

1. Enter nushell

nu

2. Install nupm if not installed

nupm - a nushell package manager

test this

cd
cd .config/nushell

mkdir nupm
cd nupm
mkdir modules
git clone [email protected]:nushell/nupm.git --depth 1
use nupm/

3. [Optional] My config_local_nupm.nu

bootstrap nupm

My config_local_nupm.nu

I source this at nu startup from config.nu to make nupm available.

4. Install nupm-porcelain with nupm

nupm install https://github.com/ddupas/nupm-porcelain
use nupm-porcelain

4. [OR] Install nupm-porcelain with git

cd $env.NUPM_HOME   # if unset go back to step 2
cd modules
git clone git@github.com:ddupas/nupm-porecelain.git --depth 1
use nupm-porcelain/

nupm-porcelain demonstrates how you can augment packages independently with modules

nupm is a helper for nushells use command, it helps use find modules by being a path manager and module installer

nu-complete only passes a single string between its caller. lookup keys have to be embeded as an enumeration and rehydrated once the value is selected
