I've been tempted to do something similar. The context information (e.g. environment, working directory) would be especially helpful, since that's what I'm currently missing. Have you tried https://github.com/umang1912/advanced-shell-history? That was where I planned to start. Here are a few other projects: https://github.com/thenewwazoo/bash-history-sqlite # simple shell script to store Bash history into SQLite3 database https://gist.github.com/pklaus/1e381be8592426568df9 # simple Python script to store Bash history into Pandas dataframe https://gist.github.com/pklaus/26925cfa1fc6b370e043 # simple Python script to store Bash history in SQLite3 database https://github.com/fredsmith/history-db # store Bash history in PHP/MySQL web server https://github.com/joshuacronemeyer/shellsink # store Bash/Zsh history in Python web server
