Prior to using Atuin, I had some fun fish plugins that used fzf to search my history. I still find that I use that most often (it even searches my atuin history too), but when that fails - or becomes overly complicated, that’s where atuin’s native search comes in. It really is a game changer for working on the console and I can’t recommend it enough. Here’s some of the things that are really great about it: 1. As mentioned above, scope awareness when searching history. This can be exceptionally helpful when you know you’re in the same directory where you previously ran a command. 2. Sync - this is why I started with atuin. It’s pretty easy to run your own sync server if you’re not big on send your commands to some random server somewhere. 3. Persistence - similar to sync, I love having my whole command history available when I stand up a new machine. 4. Secrets hidden - you can even set it so secrets are not persisted in your history. This is useful if you haven’t yet migrated to using something 1Password to inject secrets. Also, as a side, it makes it really easy to find secret references you’ve used before too.
