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
- duration
- exit code
- working directory
- hostname
- time
- a unique session ID
## Install
`atuin` needs a recent version of Rust + Cargo! It's best to use
[rustup](https://rustup.rs/) for getting set up there.
```
cargo install atuin
```
Once the binary is installed, the shell plugin requires installing:
zplug:
```
zplug "ellie/atuin"
```
antigen:
```
antigen use https://github.com/ellie/atuin.git
```
oh-my-zsh:
```
git clone https://github.com/ellie/atuin ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/atuin
```
and then add `atuin` to your `plugins` list in `~/.zshrc`
## Usage
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
```
### Import history
```
atuin import auto # detect shell, then import
or
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.
