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
orcp
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)

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