This GitHub Action will setup a Nushell environment for you.
In most cases you just need to specify the version of Nushell to be used in your workflow.
For example the following installs the v0.90 version of Nushell.
Then you can set the command you want to run in the following steps, and don't forget to set shell: nu {0}
to make the commands be executed by nu:
- uses: hustcer/setup-nu@v3
with:
version: "0.90" # Don't use 0.90 here, as it was a float number and will be convert to 0.9, you can use v0.90/0.90.0 or '0.90'
- run: print $'Nu version info:(char nl)'; version
shell: nu {0}
- name: Default shell will be `nu`
shell: nu {0}
run: |
print $'Nu path:(which nu)(char nl)'
def greeting [name: string] {
print $'Hello ($name)'
}
greeting hustcerOf cause, You can also set the default shell to nu by setting the defaults.run.shell config:
name: basic
on: push
defaults:
run:
shell: nu {0}
jobs:
basic-usage:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: hustcer/setup-nu@main
with:
version: "*"
- run: version; print $"(char nl)Dir contents:(char nl)"; ls ((which nu).path.0 | path dirname)
- run: |
print $'Current env:(char nl)'
print $env
- name: You can run bash commands, too
run: pwd && ls -la
shell: bashTo use modules in Nu, please refer to the following examples:
- Use Nu modules by setting
NU_LIB_DIRSconstant:
- name: Setup nu
uses: hustcer/setup-nu@v3
with:
version: 0.101.0
- name: Use Your Nu Modules by NU_LIB_DIRS Constant
shell: nu {0}
run: |
const NU_LIB_DIRS = [ ${{ github.workspace }}/nu ]
use module.nu *
print 'Use module by NU_LIB_DIRS Constant'
print (get-env 'ABC-XYZ' 'DEFAULT-FROM-NU-LIB-DIRS-CONSTANT')- Use Nu modules in
nu -c
- name: Setup nu
uses: hustcer/setup-nu@v3
with:
version: 0.101.0
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Use Your Nu Modules
shell: nu {0}
run: |
nu -c "use nu/module.nu *; print (get-env 'ABC-XYZ' 'DEFAULT-ABC-XYZ')"You have to wrap the nu code in nu -c "", and the nu version should be equal to or above 0.69.
- Use modules from absolute path
- name: Setup nu
uses: hustcer/setup-nu@v3
with:
version: 0.101.0
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Use Your Nu Modules by Absolute Path
shell: nu {0}
run: |
use ${{ github.workspace }}/nu/module.nu *
print 'Use module from: ${{ github.workspace }}/nu/module.nu'
print (get-env 'ABC-XYZ' 'DEFAULT-ABC-XYZ-ABSOLUTE-PATH')Again, the nu version should be equal to or above 0.69.
They are not perfect yet, but they do work. BTW: Please tell me if you found a better way and PRs are always welcomed.
Nushell is currently in active development, if you want to use the latest features it's also available by set the version to nightly, just as below:
- uses: hustcer/setup-nu@v3
with:
version: nightly # Will download and setup the latest nightly version of Nushell
- run: print $'Nu version info:(char nl)'; version
shell: nu {0}
- name: Default shell will be `nu`
shell: nu {0}
run: |
print $'Nu path:(which nu)(char nl)'
def greeting [name: string] {
print $'Hello ($name)'
}
greeting hustcerWarning Use
Nushellnightly version with caution: The nu binary may change every other day and this may break your workflow. Only the latest nightly version will be downloaded and setup, and the version must benightly.
Or, check the following examples:
- run-matrix.yaml
- Advanced example: How Nushell Make a Release? Workflow, Script
If you want to use the latest version of nushell you can specify this by set check-latest to
true(it's the same as version: '*', but more readable). For example the following installs
the latest version:
- uses: hustcer/setup-nu@v3
with:
check-latest: true
- run: print $'Nu version info:(char nl)'; versionNote: Before Nushell reaches 1.0, each version may change a lot, it is recommend that you use a specified version instead.
