Atuin

magical shell history

animated

exit code, duration, time and command shown

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. As well as the search UI, it can do things like this: ``` # search for all successful `make` commands, recorded after 3pm yesterday atuin search --exit 0 --after "yesterday 3pm" make ``` You may use either the server I host, or host your own! Or just don't use sync at all. As all history sync is encrypted, I couldn't access your data even if I wanted to. And I **really** don't want to. ## Features - rebind `up` and `ctrl-r` with a full screen history search UI - store shell history in a sqlite database - backup and sync **encrypted** shell history - the same history across terminals, across sessions, and across machines - log exit code, cwd, hostname, session, command duration, etc - calculate statistics such as "most used command" - old history file is not replaced ## Documentation - [Quickstart](#quickstart) - [Install](#install) - [Import](docs/import.md) - [Configuration](docs/config.md) - [Searching history](docs/search.md) - [Cloud history sync](docs/sync.md) - [History stats](docs/stats.md) - [Running your own server](docs/server.md) - [Key binding](docs/key-binding.md) ## Supported Shells - zsh - bash # Quickstart ``` bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ellie/atuin/main/install.sh) atuin register -u -e -p atuin import auto atuin sync ``` ## Install ### Script (recommended) The install script will help you through the setup, ensuring your shell is properly configured. It will also use one of the below methods, preferring the system package manager where possible (AUR, homebrew, etc etc). ``` # do not run this as root, root will be asked for if required bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ellie/atuin/main/install.sh) ``` ### With cargo It's best to use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) to get setup with a Rust toolchain, then you can run: ``` cargo install atuin ``` ### AUR Atuin is available on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/atuin/) ``` yay -S atuin # or your AUR helper of choice ``` ### From source ``` 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. If you use the install script, this should all be done for you! ### zsh ``` echo 'eval "$(atuin init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc ``` ### bash We need to setup some hooks, so first install bash-preexec: ``` curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec/master/bash-preexec.sh -o ~/.bash-preexec.sh echo '[[ -f ~/.bash-preexec.sh ]] && source ~/.bash-preexec.sh' >> ~/.bashrc ``` Then setup Atuin ``` echo 'eval "$(atuin init bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc ``` ## ...what's with the name? Atuin is named after "The Great A'Tuin", a giant turtle from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of books.
