Anyone try this and fish shell? How do they compare? Thanks!
Fish + Atuin (with up arrow disabled) + Starship is what I use on every platform I can

Re: Atuin – Magical shell history
#82The page claims this is "trusted by engineers" at Google, MS, Apple, Amazon, you name it. Could maybe some engineer at these companies enlighten me how you could convince your security team that it is fine that all your shell commands are streamed to an outside server? Yes, I know it's E2E, but still, without a proper audit, my security department here would laugh me out of the room if I'd ask for this. Do you all se…
Or they could mean "used by engineers who work at Google (for their non-work related projects)"?

Maybe. It's open to interpretation, which is the problem.
If the author of Atuin maybe sees this: While this not (yet?) a commercial project, it is highly problematic to advertise your product like this. You cannot just put the logos of companies on your front page without permission, even with that carefully worded caveat in front. At the very least, this can lead to a C&D.

#85Earlier quoted context omitted.
The server is optional and opt-in, stuff is saved to a local SQLite database by default.
In "What you get with Atuin" the first(!) point is "Sync your shell history to all of your machines, wherever they are". That obviously cannot work with a local SQLite. Without syncing, this is a better ctrl+r, which I won't disagree is nice, but not the real point of this software. If the page says this is "trusted" by pretty much all major software companies, I would assume this includes syncing, which is the main…
What part of "cloud sync is opt-in" did you not want to understand? Appearantly all of it.
It does not matter if you think that the website does a bad job of explaining that fact.
Rest assured, that your sentiment, that no employee should be using autin (or any locally installed 3rd party software, really) before a proper audit of the code has been done is understood just by your first comment. A valid opinion anyone can hold.
Re: Atuin – Magical shell history
#86I love how it looks and I love some of the fancy features. But above all, it's a solution to two real problems I had. I work in several terminals. Sometimes tabs or Windows in my emulator, sometimes screen or tmux. And all those sessions would overwrite eachothers history. I lost many actual important history entries that way. And I (almost) ran many wrong commands, expecting another one to be my last entry. Arrow-up…
Looks like whoever created the examples uses LunarVim.

#87atuin is nice, but the search functionality is not on par with fzf, I found myself several times going `cat ~/.zsh_history | fzf`

A problem for whom? How do you know he didn't get permission?
I work/ed for some of the companies on the list and endorse his web page. The turtle logo is cute, seems fine to me.
Re: Atuin – Magical shell history
#90I see good value in the sync.
But since I use different flavors of UNIX and Linux some of the commands are different.
I think it could get confusing.
Obviously you could just not synch between platofrms
