The idea is to collect people choices for replacement of various commands in machine readable format.

Using the data it will be possible analyze command history to propose lifehacks and time savers.

problem

There are already too many things-awesome, but no database that can be used to lookup and upgrade your habits to new frontiers automatically.

evolve.txt

Here I tried to record:

  1. if I use Ctrl+R in bash to lookup history, then hstr project can save my time
  2. TBA

The goal also is to explain other people why there is hstr in my dotfiles. dotfiles do not hold this connection. I can put comments and write README.md docs, but that will not be machine readable and people will not be able to compare reasons across repositories.

The current format is detected by the first line:

# evolution: techtonik.1

And that's should be enough to move it to the next version. techtonik is my name, and evolution is my repository with the file named evolve. It has .txt extension to render and edit easily.

Feel free to evolve and change the format. There is no spec. What you see is what you get. Just make sure that there is a path from the old dataset to a new one.

What matters is ability to evolve, not standards. This should be maximized. And if I put this right, tools will be able to evolve from techtonik.1 to your next format, and evolve how do we change our habits too.
