🐚 Nushell PPA for Ubuntu — the APT Repository Alternative

A new type of shell — pipelines of structured, typed data instead of raw text

← Nushell overview
🔍 Searching for a Nushell PPA? deb.griffo.io gives you exactly what a PPA would — and the part that matters is what happens after you add it: every new upstream release is packaged here within hours, so apt upgrade keeps Nushell current on its own. Currently serving nushell 0.115.0-1~noble (updated 2026-08-17), with builds for every current Ubuntu release. It's a plain APT repository rather than a Launchpad PPA, which means it also works identically on Debian and on Ubuntu derivatives like Mint and Pop!_OS.

⚡ Add the repository (works like add-apt-repository)

Step 1: Add repository & key

Run the commands
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update

Step 2: Install Nushell

sudo apt install -y nushell
apt install -y nushell

❓ PPA questions, answered

Is this a PPA?

Technically no — it's a plain signed APT repository, which is what a PPA is under the hood. You get the same workflow (apt install, apt upgrade) without Launchpad, and unlike a PPA it serves Debian and Ubuntu derivatives too.

Is there an official Nushell PPA?

The Nushell project does not maintain an official PPA. Community PPAs come and go and often lag behind; this repository is updated automatically within hours of each official release, and the packaging is public.

Is this repository trustworthy?

It's an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream Nushell releases, the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/nushell-debian, and the whole archive is GPG-signed. Several upstream projects link to it from their official installation docs.

How fast do new releases arrive?

Typically within hours of the upstream release — usually faster than community PPAs, and years ahead of the frozen Ubuntu archive. Follow the release feed to watch updates land.
