Separate Startup Script

This config sources a separate startup script so that you can edit a nu script instead of fiddling around with the toml config.

Additionally it provides some new commands:

• config edit: Opens the config.toml in a new editor (depending on the EDITOR env variable)
• startup edit: Opens the startup.nu in a new editor (depending on the EDITOR env variable)
• startup path: Like config path, provides the path to the startup.nu file

The config edit and startup edit command

Both config edit and startup edit accept the flag --editor (or -e) that lets you define a different editor. To open the config in VSCode VScode for example do:

config edit -e code
startup edit -e code

The startup path and config path command

Like config path the command startup path provides the path to the startup.nu file. This can be used e.g. to open both, the config.toml and the startup.nu in an editor of your choice:

vim (config path) (startup path)
