Atuin seemed like an interesting way to sync shell history across machines. That wasn't a problem I personally had, but I could've seen myself giving it a try.
These recent developments with the Desktop tool, and now what seems like a Jupyter-like replacement for... shell scripts(?)... sounds completely alien to me. I'm sure it solves some problem for somebody, but it's far removed from any problem I've ever had. Good luck with the project, as it does look like a lot of work and thought went into it.
- acedTrex 11mo agoHonestly atuin is great even if you dont sync history.
- quasigod 11mo agoYeah even the completely offline features make it much nicer than a standard shell history
- thayne 11mo agoWhat advantage does it have over zsh (or bash) native history?
- acedTrex 11mo agoThe fuzzy search ui bound to up is more convenient than history | grep ...
- thayne 11mo agoI just hava a zsh binding for using fzf to doing a fuzzy search of my history. The fzf package actually includes the implementation of the zsh "widget".
- acedTrex 11mo agoThat's probably essentially the same thing, atuin being sqlite based is possibly faster but its not likely to matter until you reach a very very large history.
- ellieh 11mo agoThe main difference otherwise is that Atuin stores much more data + syncs it We shelled out to fzf in the very early days, but found the initial indexing to be a bit slower + add latency vs SQLite
