I see so many people loving on atuin in the comments but I just tried it and don’t get it. It seems so much worse than the built in search. I guess it’s not for me.
I’ve been using it for a few months, and so far it’s not as good as just regular old command history. I think any benefit might be for really, really old commands, or commands happening in a specific location. So, I’m going to keep using it to see if it helps then. But, so far it’s a massive downgrade.

I lazily type part of the thing I want like “sys” and then ctrl+⬆️/⬇️ and
sudo systemctl start libvirtdetc. appear like magic.Guilty!
history | grep thethingyou'relookingfordeleted by creator
Blasphemy
history | grep then !cmd_number
If I haven’t ran it in a while or I don’t know it by heart then I ‘nano /home/mehblah/.bash_history’
I do
history | grep keyword.I forget that exist. One problem with being really old school on linux is you don’t adopt new ways unless there is a reason to do so.
… And waste an opportunity to type on my ludicrously expensive mechanical keyboard?
FRIG no

Why are you making personal attacks against me.
Atuin Magic Shell History is pretty good.
Or just use fish shell. Rarely need ctrl+r anymore.
I’m familiar with fish shell, but what specifically makes you like it?
Context-based autocomplete is the main selling point for me.
fellow fish user, I just like its autocomplete and how I can just type ‘help’ and an interactive HTML page opens up where I can look stuff, and fish_config does the same except with settings and themes
i just do a command close to what i want but slightly wrong just so i can do thefuck
If only you had a little picture to click on…
!ssh
run the last command that started with ssh
I… Well… Thank you !
It’s as amazing as it is dangerous :) use with care!
