Given a history like this in Nushell, how do I delete specific entries; e.g. entries 6, 8, and 10?
nu > history

nu's history
command does not (yet) provide a functionality to delete items similar to bash's history -d
. However, you can query where the history file is located using $nu.history-path
, then use drop nth
to delete the lines in question.
open $nu.history-path | lines | drop nth 6 8 10 | save -f $nu.history-path
