There are 464 dependencies in the complete tree when doing `cargo install`.

That's a bit too many. But it's not often you compile your shell from scratch.

It's definite a lot. We're looking into making more of the features optional, so you can streamline it if you want.

https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/341 now there are only 458 :)

That is some impressive insight to the behavior of the lib. Have you ran into that before and knew it was an easy thing to get rid of?

I’m always impressed when people show up with fixes like this (that I wouldn’t even know to look for).

I did see quite a few that double up, like 2 versions of url and a few others.

Just had a quick play ... on arch linux `yay nushell-git` already works!!!

One area where I got a bit stuck was around help. `man where` gave me nothing, `help where` also. I tries stuff like `ls | where type = File` and got a type error. I think it would be amazing if this thing onboarded people a bit nicer, "where needs a condition, to learn about where type "help where" ... stuff like that

Overall really enjoying the ideas here and I am absolutely going to be following this!

And 484 when installing with rawkey and clipboard.
