What's it like with many shells/panes in multiplexers open? I often find my history from one or another either lost or not available across different ones.
No one ever addresses the most important problem: how to separate commands that one would like to retain (preferably indefinitely) vs garbage commands (like cd, ls, cat, etc.) that should better be wiped in a few days.
While that’s certainly useful to cull trivial commands, it can also behoove the user to remove commands done wrong. Coming back several months later to be gifted with several, very similar commands of which only one is right can be frustrating. The history records the failed tries as well as the successes. Mind, the errors give a place to start, but if it’s far enough removed from the original event it may well be am…
The correct command is almost always the last one, so as long as your search results are chronological this shouldn't be an issue?

I made a script that uses atuin to get previous commands related to your current command line - latest commands ran in the same session, in the same directory, in other sessions, latest commands for the same executable etc. then feeds it into GPT and streams the replies to fzf so you can choose the best autocompletion (or it can fix problems in the line you've written already as well). On Wezterm and Kitty it can als…
Though the idea of mistakenly putting credentials in the cli and it ending up in GPT is bothering me a bit.
Are there ways to migrate existing shell histories with timestamps into atuin?
I suppose this could be solved with either:
- Some kind of modified ssh that sends back the commands to my host
- Some kind of smart terminal that can analyze commands to build up the history
Any ideas on how to practically solve this problem?

Right. And isn't this what home dirs are for?

While sqlite is pretty cool technology, it doesn't quite deserve the title of "magic".
The joke was because of the Terry Pratchett reference. https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Great_A%27Tuin
