I've been using Atuin for at least a year and a half, and I think it's definitely the tool I'd been looking for the most in my entire dev career. It has made me much more confident with my hazy memory. Before it I'd struggle consistently to remember most of my recent commands.

bck-i was always a bit obtuse to me and I honestly never grokked it until I had Atuin wired into my workflow (hard) and ran into bck-i instead when SSH'd.

Anytime a peer views my screenshare, they ask "what's the funny thing that makes you so fast". I then proceed to share, first and foremost, Atuin.

Thanks Atuin team! Would love to contribute someday with more time.

Thanks for your work! Atuin is definitely one of those "How did nobody figure this out before now?" sort of ideas, executed really well. Two thumbs up.

I'm really intrigued by the upcoming Runbooks - they seem like they could be an absolute game changer. Any updates/teases on that front?

I hadn't heard of this until just now, and I already can't imagine living without it. Thank you!

now please give us the cloud history feature opt-out by default please please. cheers

You already have it

Nothing syncs without you registering an account or logging in

nidnogg OP
lovely. I vaguely remember back when I first signed on, it wasn't opt-out by default so I assumed it stayed the same. disregard my quip! hahaha

I don't mean to be rude but this has been the case since the project first started in 2021. You have always had to sign in to sync anything at all

It's always been opt-in, or "opt-out by default".

did you even try to read the web page documentation? or the previous answer to that same question you asked? it doesn't send anything by default...

it could've been back in the day when I first installed it. glad to have it resolved tho. take it easy man

One of the things I really struggle to retain about the shell is the various expansions.

Unfortunately history shows the expanded form of what's happened, so I can't go reference that I used the third word of history item 773 as an argument, I only see the resolved argument.

Alas I haven't found any hooks in zsh that show promise here. I'd really love the pure history.

One technique I've used in the past is making a quick command in vim, that takes the selection or current line, and sends it to a given terminal. And perhaps starts a new line too. Basically using vim to author commands, to build the history log. Also I get to use vim, yay.

I second this wholeheartedly. Atuin is a joy to use and makes it so easier to find past commands. Thanks a lot atuin, and thanks to the colleague who recommended it!
