History Search (hsearch)

📜 + 🔎 = ❤️

hsearch is a context-aware Bash/Zsh eternal history manager. It facilitates the seamless collaboration between your past and future by keeping track of bash/zsh history in a plain text file (~/.zsh_eternal_history or ~/.bash_eternal_history) and providing a fuzzy search capability. It's written in Rust, so it's blazingly fast 🦀

💻 Usage

# search eternal command history using fuzzy search / will copy to clipboard
hsearch

# search commands executed in the current directory
hsearch --here

# search commands executed in the current directory today
hsearch --here --today

# search commands executed in the current directory today
hsearch --here --yesterday

# edit eternal history file
vim ~/.bash_eternal_history # or ~/.zsh_eternal_history for zsh
