A'Tuin

Through the fathomless deeps of space swims the star turtle Great A’Tuin, bearing on its back the four giant elephants who carry on their shoulders the mass of the Discworld.

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 ## Supported Shells - zsh ## Install ### AUR A'Tuin is available on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/atuin/) ``` yay -S atuin # or your AUR helper of choice ``` ### With cargo `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 ``` ### From source ``` rustup default nightly git clone https://github.com/ellie/atuin.git cd atuin cargo install --path . ``` ### Shell plugin Once the binary is installed, the shell plugin requires installing. Add ``` eval "$(atuin init)" ``` to your `.zshrc`/`.bashrc`/whatever your shell uses. ## Usage ### History search By default A'Tuin will rebind ctrl-r and the up arrow to search your history. You can prevent this by putting ``` export ATUIN_BINDKEYS="false" ``` into your shell config. ### Import history ``` atuin import auto # detect shell, then import or atuin import zsh # specify shell ``` ### List history List all history ``` atuin history list ``` List history for the current directory ``` atuin history list --cwd atuin h l -c # alternative, shorter version ``` List history for the current session ``` atuin history list --session atuin h l -s # similarly short ``` ### Stats A'Tuin can calculate statistics for a single day, and accepts "natural language" style date input, as well as absolute dates: ``` $ atuin stats day last friday +---------------------+------------+ | Statistic | Value | +---------------------+------------+ | Most used command | git status | +---------------------+------------+ | Commands ran | 450 | +---------------------+------------+ | Unique commands ran | 213 | +---------------------+------------+ $ atuin stats day 01/01/21 # also accepts absolute dates ``` It can also calculate statistics for all of known history: ``` $ atuin stats all +---------------------+-------+ | Statistic | Value | +---------------------+-------+ | Most used command | ls | +---------------------+-------+ | Commands ran | 8190 | +---------------------+-------+ | Unique commands ran | 2996 | +---------------------+-------+ ``` ## Config A'Tuin is configurable via TOML. The file lives at ` ~/.config/atuin/config.toml`, and looks like this: ``` [local] dialect = "uk" # or us. sets the date format used by stats server_address = "https://atuin.elliehuxtable.com/" # the server to sync with [local.db] path = "~/.local/share/atuin/history.db" # the local database for history ``` ## ...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.
