Has anyone who uses fish shell compared that to Atuin? I suspect that having my entire shell history accessible might not really be necessary.

I use fish's own completion (the dim text that appears after you type) for most stuff. I also use the fish up arrow search instead of Atuin like this: atuin init fish --disable-up-arrow

Atuin is there when I need to find something more complex I remember doing 3 months ago and could actually repurpose today.

Does Atuin offer ability to save current path (with timestamp as a bonus) for the command as well? Looking at OP it looks like it does " recording additional command context" Often (meaning once every few months) I have to SSH to some less used machines and remember a few incantations where path and time is crucial. In bash there is a hacky way to add current path and timestamp to history, but I've never gotten it to…

Yes it does, both path and timestamp. You can even filter to commands for your current directory by just pressing Ctrl+R a few times

so we store

- command - directory - timestamp - duration - session ID - exit code - hostname

currently thinking of neat ways we can store extra things too (git remote, etc)

I quited my job as well to work on https://glicol.org I have a lot of feelings, but I don't have a blog so far. I feel that universities should alloc some of their funding to many of these open source projects and open source community should be better managed rather than donation. As for me, my plan is to start my own company and work on hardware .

Awesome to hear that! Been following Glicol for a while because it is such a unique and bold project!

While Sonic Pi is also beautiful and much easier to start with as a beginner, I later found the hard way that its architecture is incredibly messy - lots of unrelated parts glued together with duct tape. The simplicity and cleanness of Glicol's code is what made me immediately love it!

Thank you for such a beautiful project!

What should I be using shell history for? I've never wanted to go back in my history but obviously people are getting a lot of value from it.

I'm similar. I do most of my work in Emacs and I don't do much sys admin, so I don't really use the shell much. It's always interesting to me to see other people's workflows, though.

it's like having a multi-register clipboard in that once you figure out the workflow, it's hard to go back.

...but if you effectively have this in emacs, I can see why you wouldn't need it in the shell.
