Magical shell history


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.

[!IMPORTANT] Due to Snap confinement, the 'scripts' functionality is not available.

To import existing history,
make sure to connect the appropriate interface such as:

sudo snap connect atuin:dot-bash-history

To see which interfaces are available and whether they are connected:

snap connections atuin

Furthermore, when using atuin import auto,
you must export your current shell such as,

SHELL=${SHELL} atuin import auto

When using this snap, atuin's configuration and data file live respectively at
- $HOME/snap/atuin/.config/atuin
- $HOME/snap/atuin/local/share/atuin

For bash users, the Snap bundles both ble.sh & bash-preexec.
They can be found in /snap/atuin/current/usr/share/.

The Snap has only really been tested for bash.
Please do report any issue on the GitHub repo linked for 'issues'.
Conversely, reports that the snap is working fine with other shells is appreciated.
