Atuin : Revolutionizing Shell History With Enhanced Search And Secure Sync

Atuin replaces your existing shell history with a SQLite database, and records additional context for your commands. Additionally, it provides optional and fully encrypted synchronisation of your history between machines, via an Atuin server.

As well as the search UI, it can do things like this:

# search for all successful `make` commands, recorded after 3pm yesterday
atuin search --exit 0 --after "yesterday 3pm" make

You may use either the server I host, or host your own! Or just don’t use sync at all. As all history sync is encrypted, I couldn’t access your data even if I wanted to. And I really don’t want to.

Features

• rebind ctrl-r and up (configurable) to a full screen history search UI
• store shell history in a sqlite database
• back up and sync encrypted shell history
• the same history across terminals, across sessions, and across machines
• log exit code, cwd, hostname, session, command duration, etc
• calculate statistics such as “most used command”
• old history file is not replaced
• quick-jump to previous items with Alt-<num>
• switch filter modes via ctrl-r; search history just from the current session, directory, or globally
• enter to execute a command, tab to edit
