A'tuin manages and synchronizes your shell history! Instead of storing
everything in a text file (such as ~/.history), A'tuin uses a sqlite database.
While being a little more complex, this allows for more functionality.

As well as the expected command, A'tuin stores
2021-02-13 23:21:49 +03:00
- duration
- exit code
- working directory
- hostname
- time
- a unique session ID

## Install
2021-02-14 00:21:00 +03:00
`atuin` needs a recent version of Rust + Cargo! It's best to use
[rustup ](https://rustup.rs/ ) for getting set up there.
2021-02-13 23:54:35 +03:00
```
cargo install atuin
```
2021-02-14 00:21:00 +03:00
Once the binary is installed, the shell plugin requires installing:
2021-02-13 23:54:35 +03:00
2021-02-14 00:21:00 +03:00
zplug:
2021-02-13 23:54:35 +03:00
2021-02-14 00:21:00 +03:00
```
2021-02-14 02:06:59 +03:00
zplug "ellie/atuin", at:main
2021-02-14 00:21:00 +03:00
```
2021-02-13 23:54:35 +03:00
2021-02-14 02:22:58 +03:00
otherwise, clone the repo and `source /path/to/repo/atuin.plugin.zsh` in your `.zshrc`
2021-02-13 23:54:35 +03:00
## Usage
2021-02-14 01:06:27 +03:00
By default A'tuin will rebind ctrl-r to use fzf to fuzzy search your history. You
can specify a different fuzzy tool by changing the value of `ATUIN_FUZZY` :
```
export ATUIN_FUZZY=fzy
```
2021-02-13 23:54:35 +03:00
### Import history
```
atuin import auto # detect shell, then import
2021-02-14 01:06:27 +03:00
or
2021-02-13 23:54:35 +03:00
atuin import zsh # specify shell
```
### List history
```
atuin history list
```

## ...what's with the name?
A'tuin is named after "The Great A'tuin", a giant turtle from Terry Pratchett's
Discworld series of books.
