May i introduce u to atuin
I think you mean Crtl+R in bash
What does this sometimes appear not to work for me even though the command is clearly in the history?
Ooh that’s even cooler!
Not MySQL, though, but nice for usage in a terminal!
Have you used fish? The built-in fuzzy matching works pretty well for me. Wondering if there’s any reason to add atuin in. Sync seems like a negative to me more than a positive.
Nah thanks, up arrow hasnt failed me yet
I don’t believe in A’tuin. The world is obviously carried on the back of a badger.
But the turtle moves.
And the honey badger mauls. My planet could beat up your planet in a fight.
I’m not a programmer but I do this on the Linux command line all the time to find a command I used days or weeks ago. Or I’ll spend 20 minutes grepping history instead. All to avoid spending 5 minutes reading the manpage so I can remember which flags and arguments I used.
Perhaps pressing [Ctrl]+[R] and typing to search makes it easier, I mean instead of grepping history?
Most terminal emulators support it.You can also change your query (backspacing and typing again) and press [Ctrl]+[R] multiple times to go to older matches.
Also, atuin.sh.
This looks super neat but I don’t really like the idea of sending my shell history to a third party, nor can I host my own server right now.
Wish it was peer-to-peer like SyncthingI don’t either, but you don’t have to use that feature. I don’t. I just use with local db for that machine.
I will have to try that, I didn’t know that functionality existed, thanks!
Let me tell you that you can also add comments to your terminal commands and use them to search history using fzf. This might sound confusing but basically you do this:
commandwithweirdoptions --option1=value1 --option2=value2 # run the usual thingThen you press Ctrl+R and type anything like «the thing», it uses fuzzy matching and finds the command in history, with a menu of other similar commands. Press enter, done.
Note that you need to have fzf installed, otherwise there is no fuzzy matching and no menu of matching history results.
Seems to work with [Ctrl]+[R] as well, though of course only with exact matches.
I’ve never understood prompt decoration like this.
How.
Does.
Punctuating.
Every.
Statement.
Increase.
Readability.Sure, just as I said, this would work id you don’t need menu or fuzzy matching. But I would recommend using fzf history search anyway, it’s just too good.
M-hm, I will try it as well! I was just letting people know the comment trick works regardless, cause that’s a nice tip as well!
And then you realise your dumb endless ls-ing has pushed the command off the history list
Can you change the history list size?
Can you configure it to ignore ls and cd …
This is too accurate!
me typing “sudo !!” instead of rewriting the shell command undoes this.
Me in the bash terminal
Who is writing SQL in the terminal?
MariaDB CLI about once in a blue moon when I have to clear some table that’s gotten borked.
Was thinking the same thing… now, searching through all my SQL scripts for the past year to find the same logic I want to replicate in another script, well that’s different.
