About:
HiSHToRy is an enhanced shell history tool that automatically syncs your command history across multiple machines. It provides powerful query capabilities using SQL-like syntax and preserves full context including exit codes, working directories, and timestamps. The tool operates transparently in the background, enriching your shell history without requiring manual configuration.
Key Features:
  • Automatic cross-machine synchronization of shell history
  • Advanced SQL-based querying of historical commands
  • Context preservation (exit codes, directories, timestamps)
  • Privacy-focused with local-first storage architecture
  • Transparent integration with existing shell workflows
Use Cases:
  • Recovering complex commands used on production servers weeks ago
  • Analyzing development workflow patterns across multiple projects
  • Sharing team command-line knowledge without manual documentation
  • Auditing infrastructure changes through historical command analysis
Alternatives:
  • atuin – Similar sync/query features with different UI and Rust implementation
  • mcfly – Fuzzy-search focused history with ML-based suggestions
  • zsh-history-substring-search – Basic substring search without sync or advanced querying
