Personally I use zsh-histdb, which is great but only for ZSH. I'm working on adding a rich SQLite history to nushell so I can finally try nu: https://github.com/nushell/reedline/pull/401 https://github.com/nushell/reedline/pull/401 .

If you were a fan of your favorite band before anyone else, you may also find https://github.com/abathur/shell-hag https://github.com/abathur/shell-hag somewhat interesting. I found it sad that there's so much overlapping effort (here, but in profile plug-ins broadly) so I also abstracted its foundational shell glue out into its own module, https://github.com/abathur/shellswain https://github.com/abathur/shellswain. I am slow-cooking them, for better and worse.

One thing I’d like these to do (I tried a couple and settled for zsh-histdb with the fzf integration) is to be able to annotate past commands, with a description, tags or, even better, both. The use case I have in mind is when I end up crafting some complicated and inscrutable incantation and being able to “earmark” it for future reference with a little bit of context that FutureMe might have forgotten by the time he thinks to reach out for the history. Put another way, I do tend to use my shell history as a scrapbook of sorts, and I wish I was able to easily write on the margins. Please, let me know if this is already a feature of any of these tools that I’ve completely missed.

  perhaps `setopt interactivecomments` and then use comments might work?

  I use Zsh + FZF and am very happy with it. My history is about 30K entries long and it handles like a champ. I use a poor mans version of the tagging you speak of. I use hashtags at the end of long commands I would like to reuse. $ <long winded shell command> #restart #remote FZF history search finds them easily.

There's also https://github.com/ellie/atuin https://github.com/ellie/atuin which offers a way to sync history across systems.
