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.
And then you realise your dumb endless ls-ing has pushed the command off the history list
This is too accurate!
Can you change the history list size?
Can you configure it to ignore ls and cd …
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?
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.
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.
I use fish with atuin but without sync. It is nice because I can search commands for a given workspace. For example the commands within a given git repository.
Yeah they are compatible. Sync can be disabled entirely or self hosted.

noOkay, NOW it’s getting personal!
me typing “sudo !!” instead of rewriting the shell command undoes this.
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.
I save “template” SQL queries in a special directory so that I don’t have to google how to do specific things. It’s basically my own personal “examples” folder.
Me in the bash terminal
