[English] | [简体中文]

Atuin replaces your existing shell history with a SQLite database, and records
additional context for your commands. Additionally, it provides optional and
_fully encrypted_ synchronisation of your history between machines, via an Atuin
server.

<em>exit code, duration, time and command shown</em>
</p>

As well as the search UI, it can do things like this:

text

search for all successful make commands, recorded after 3pm yesterday


atuin search --exit 0 --after "yesterday 3pm" make

You may use either the server I host, or host your own! Or just don't use sync
at all. As all history sync is encrypted, I couldn't access your data even if
I wanted to. And I really don't want to.

Features

- rebind ctrl-r and up (configurable) to a full screen history search UI
- store shell history in a sqlite database
- back up and sync encrypted shell history
- the same history across terminals, across sessions, and across machines
- log exit code, cwd, hostname, session, command duration, etc
- calculate statistics such as "most used command"
- old history file is not replaced
- quick-jump to previous items with <kbd>Alt-\<num\></kbd>
- switch filter modes via ctrl-r; search history just from the current session, directory, or globally
- enter to execute a command, tab to edit

Quickstart

This will sign you up for the Atuin Cloud sync server. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, so your secrets are safe!

Read the docs for an offline setup, self-hosted server, and more.

text
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://setup.atuin.sh | sh

atuin register -u <USERNAME> -e <EMAIL>
atuin import auto
atuin sync

Then restart your shell!

NOTE

> For Bash users: The above sets up bash-preexec for necessary hooks, but


bash-preexec has limitations. For details, please see the

Bash

section of the shell plugin documentation.

Security

If you find any security issues, we'd appreciate it if you could alert <[email protected]>
