hishtory

I actually made a CLI tool (https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory) that automatically binds to Control+R to support both history searching and AI queries (by prefixing queries with `?`). Here's the prompt engineering I did: https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/blob/master/shared/ai/a...

I'll also plug my project [0] as another alternative that supports syncing (similar to Autumn) and also has a number of powerful customization features (e.g. custom columns to collect arbitrary metadata with each command, like the git remote) and an AI shell command generator. [0]: https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory

If you're more used to ctrl+r, you could try hiSHtory (https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory)

If you're interested in something more actively maintained, and with cross-machine syncing, two recent alternatives are: * github.com/ddworken/hishtory * github.com/ellie/atuin Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of the first one.

Ah, thank you commenting on this! This is absolutely unintentional and was the fault of a missing comment in the bash script (that I didn't notice because I generally use zsh). See https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/commit/72ff95ab8b23c3be... and if you run `hishtory update` it should be all fixed.

See https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/blob/master/backend/web... Also, Github pro tip: Press `t` when on any github repo to bring up fuzzy matching that can be used to easily find any specific file.

Actually the install script is in the repo! See https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/tree/master/backend/web...

I also did not like that it's hidden away in the code. It is easy to self-host it though. https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/issues/7 I also did not enjoy that the install script is not in the repo.

I didn't see the install.py script in the repo. Would be a good idea to include it. What was much more interesting to me is how this tool hooks into the shell to record commands. This can be found here: https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/tree/master/client/lib/...

See https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/issues/6 for info on how to disable control-R and how to uninstall. And sorry about this, I agree that a cleaner way to uninstall is needed and will get this implemented soon!

See https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/issues/4 This isn't supported quite yet, but is the next item on the road map.

hiSHtory is a better shell history. It stores your shell history in context (what directory you ran the command it, whether it succeeded or failed, how long it took, etc). This is all stored locally and end-to-end encrypted for syncing to to all your other computers. All of this is easily queryable via Control-R and via the hishtory CLI. This means from your laptop, you can easily find that complex bash pipeline you wrote on your server, and see the context in which you ran it.
