Atuin – Magical Shell History

Looks like it has some really nice features - https://docs.atuin.sh/configuration/key-binding/

I'm using fish + fzf atm but this looks better tbh.

atuin is great been using ít for few weeks now. i like how configurable the TUI itself is. The only thing i wish it had was profiles.

I've been using Atuin for at least a year and a half, and I think it's definitely the tool I'd been looking for the most in my entire dev career. It has made me much more confident with my hazy memory. Before it I'd struggle consistently to remember most of my recent commands.

bck-i was always a bit obtuse to me and I honestly never grokked it until I had Atuin wired into my workflow (hard) and ran into bck-i instead when SSH'd.

Anytime a peer views my screenshare, they ask "what's the funny thing that makes you so fast". I then proceed to share, first and foremost, Atuin.

Thanks Atuin team! Would love to contribute someday with more time.

I recently switched to Atuin from McFly, and while McFly has been a solid performer for me for years, I love Atuin. Worth pointing out for others who care about such things as it's not made clear on this landing page, you don't actually need to register - if you don't need the sync, you can just use it without registering and it's still amazing, and if you do need the sync but don't like the idea of your history being stored on someone else's server, you can self-host the sync server too.

If any of you is having problems with Atuin acting weirds or slow, and has a ZFS filesystem, there's a known problem with sqlite and ZFS [0]. There are a couple of workarounds [1] that are, either using `atuin daemon`, or creating an ext4 volume for the atuin storage.
