Helpers

Defined in config.nu (replacing the former .python_scripts/):

• r b|s|p|f [extra] — restic backup / snapshots / prune / forget.
• yf <files> / yg — Concatenate files (or all git-tracked files) and copy via OSC52. Packs smallest-first so the payload stays under the terminal's OSC52 limit; -l overrides the cap.
• yi — Copy stdin to the system clipboard via OSC52.
• rp <pattern> <repl> — Interactive regex replace across git-tracked files.
• u — Upgrade brew packages and uv tools.
• hxn / hxs / hxk — Edit config.nu / secrets.nu / kube.nu, then reload the shell.

Notes

• config.nu sources ~/.config/nushell/secrets.nu for machine-specific environment (RESTIC_REPOSITORY, KUBE_NS, NET_ID). It is gitignored.
• Set the kube namespace once per context with kns; the wrappers then inherit it.
• Common tools referenced: kubectl, restic, uv, starship, tmux.
