    Can you tell me how to run a command and ignore an alias in NuShell? I don’t really use nu but when i tried to write something in it, this was something that eluded me

      Oh, if you want to avoid running a built in command like ls or cp and want to run the actual thing in /usr/bin, you prefix it with a ^, so eg ^cp -p.

        Interesting. What does the ^ do in this situation?

        And I just want to not respect an alias, so falls back to either builtin or path.

        In zsh or bash I can prefix the command with the word command, or a backslash (directly before the command)

          https://www.nushell.sh/book/escaping.html

          I don’t know whether unsetting an alias is possible though.
