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 nightly version of Rust + Cargo! It's best to use
[rustup](https://rustup.rs/) for getting set up there.

```
rustup default nightly
```

```
cargo install atuin
```

Once the binary is installed, the shell plugin requires installing:

zplug:

```
zplug "ellie/atuin", at:main
```

otherwise, clone the repo and `source /path/to/repo/atuin.plugin.zsh` in your `.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.
