Store your shell history in git. forever.
Shell history is generally stored in a simple flat file, loaded into memory whenever the shell is started, and pruned over time.
By storing history in git, we can:
- store more context for each entry, such as the current directory and environment
- support more complex queries, such as asking for all commands which were run from the current directory
- store things forever, because the database doesn't all need to be loaded into memory
- share history across multiple systems
- more
Basic usage:
- gh init start tracking history
- gh view history
- gh ready copy to recent history, so you can get back to it easily with your shell's normal history commands
- gh -N view last N lines of history
- gh forget-session remove the current session
- gh delete forget history at
- gh delete .. forget all history reachable from but not
