nushell: Git histogram example not working

Describe the bug I just started using nushell and it feels great!. I went through the cookbook to check the examples but I could not get the git histogram example to work.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Execute the command git log "--pretty=format:%h(nu)%aN(nu)%s(nu)%aD" | lines | split column "(nu)" sha1 committer desc merged_at | histogram committer merger | sort-by merger | reverse in a git repository

Expected behavior I expected an histogram similar to the shown it the examples.

Screenshots

Configuration (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise - 1909
Nu version: 0.21.0
Optional features:

Add any other context about the problem here.

I did some tests and the histogram command seams to work fine. if I change the histogram column parameter from ‘committer’ to ’ sha1’, it works.

There is something related to the column but I could not identify what’s the issue.

Replace splitting tag in git log Replacing the (nu) tag allows removing the quotes from the formatting string. The new command works in both linux and windows systems. Discussion in https://github.co... — committed to janosimas/nushell.github.io by janosimas 4 years ago

I’ve seen this before and unfortunately it’s the difference between git on Linux and git on Windows. I just ran this on windows and it worked.

Feel free to submit a documentation PR on this issue.

Duh, i forgot there’s a special group-by for dates.

git log --pretty=%h»¦«%s»¦«%aN»¦«%aE»¦«%aD -n 25 | lines | split column "»¦«" commit subject name email date | update date { get date | str to-datetime} | group-by date date | pivot

group-by date is a subcommand and it’s specifically for dates. So, now everything seems to be working.

Any thoughts of what else we should add to this? https://gist.github.com/fdncred/caa086a07da3b3d7ee771d16999b13d5

I need to go over it again for flow because i jumped back and forth through it and probably lose the readers train of thought.
