#2For those of you on zsh, I have been a big fan of https://github.com/larkery/zsh-histdb
It is written entirely in shell script, with the only dependency being sqlite itself.

#4A little curious but too lazy to find out, what's the difference between this and atuin vs fzf?
Also I do like the premise, recently stopped using atuin due to all the extra bells and whistles and just went back to fzf.

#5Does this automatically handle deduplication?
Re: Stinkpot: SQLite-backed shell history
#6FWIW I use atuin (https://atuin.sh/) and am reasonably happy with it, especially the infinite capacity & snapiness. Ignoring the sync features, I believe it's also sqlite backed when running in local-only mode.

seems to only have session agnostic history and a TUI for searching it, because the author didn't want all the features atuin offers. only 400 LOC too, pretty neat

#8is there a particular reason why i'd want sqlite-backed shell history? i mean sure it works but why not a text file? (which i'd assume is somewhat faster because you can just append)
i guess you could say it's because you may want dates for each command but for that you can just use a CSV or TSV file no?
does it have to do with the searching?

AFAIK it is always backed by a sqlite DB. That way the sync just populates the DB and the completion process doesn't care (or wait for) the central source.

#10I wonder if the author is aware of McFly. That doesn't have all the features of Atuin that they say they don't want.
