About:
Hstr (HiSToRy) is a command-line tool that enhances the history functionality of Bash and Zsh shells. It provides an interactive suggest box interface that allows users to quickly search, navigate, and manage their command history. The tool improves productivity by making it easy to recall, pin, and reuse complex or frequently used commands.
Key Features:
  • Interactive history search with fuzzy matching
  • Favorites and pinning for frequently used commands
  • Bash and Zsh shell integration
  • Color-coded and customizable interface
  • History cleanup and management utilities
Use Cases:
  • Quickly finding and reusing complex commands from terminal history
  • Managing and organizing important shell commands for easy access
  • Cleaning up redundant or sensitive entries from command history
Alternatives:
  • fzf – Generic fuzzy finder that can be used for history but requires manual shell integration
  • atuin – Modern history tool with sync and database backend, more feature-rich but heavier
