Something something magical shell history
A’tuin
Bless you
There’s also McFly which I slightly prefer, just because the interface looks a bit nicer. Although it does have an annoying missing feature - you can’t scroll through the history.
Why?
i for one can’t be bothered to remember, for example, the syntax to add a new gitlab project to the allowed list of a hashicorp vault policy :) - i use
zsh
withfzf
andag
, so ictrl+r
to find the last time i used this, adjust, execute.there are many use cases for checking out your shell’s command history…
That’s not my point. Every shell already has history. What’s the difference here?
Bash by default limits history to ~1000 items iirc, and doesn’t store anything but the command itself
