nu-cli-reed

I have developed a nushell cli that depends on reedline instead of rustyline and developed a nu crate called nu-cli-reed.

Every time a new release of nushell comes out I update the cli code with the latest nu-cli crate and then remove all of the dependencies on rustyline and add back in the reedline code.

This code is packaged as a nu crate called nu-cli-reed.

The Cargo.toml file keys off the new released nushell crates along with a code snapshot of an internal reedline crate.

Because a reedline crate is not yet published I reference my own internal reedline crate.

History command called rlh

The main features that works is history... There are obviously no completions as in nushell that currently depends on rustyline.

There are two histories ---- the nushell history and the reedline history [the reedline history uses a command rlh] which is a hack as I didn't want to have to modify any other crates in nushell.

How to run the code

cargo run

How to run the example code

cargo run --example reed
cargo run --example repl

Integrate reedline into nushell
