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
Requirements
Install
AUR
A'tuin is available on the AUR
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 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 to use fzf to fuzzy search your history. It will also rebind the up arrow to use fzf, just without sorting. You can prevent this by putting
export ATUIN_BINDKEYS="false"
into your shell config.
You may also change the default history selection. The default behaviour will search your entire history, however
export ATUIN_HISTORY="atuin history list --cwd"
will switch to only searching history for the current directory.
Similarly,
export ATUIN_HISTORY="atuin history list --session"
will search for the current session only, and
export ATUIN_HISTORY="atuin history list --session --cwd"
will do both!
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 |
