Caveats

Setting user shell to nushell breaks Ansible ssh connection therefore it is not recommended to set set_shell parameter to true unless you're using Ansible to provision your local machine or you have a separate user for running Ansible as. As a workaround you can set add_to_profile parameter to true which instead will add nushell to autostart for interactive sessions while maintaining compatibility with Ansible

Dependencies

None.

Local testing

Alternatively run pip install -r requirements.txt and run automated tests via molecule by running molecule test
