The `http get` command in Nushell is used to fetch the contents from a specified URL. It supports authentication with usernames and passwords, custom headers, timeout settings, and options to handle raw text, insecure connections, full responses, error codes, and redirect modes. The command returns the content of the URL, which can be configured to be a table or raw text.
