stinkpot: sqlite-backed shell history

Summary

stinkpot -------- _ _ / \ _ (_\/\_/\/_) /\/ \/\ \/\_/\/ \/_\/ " " stinkpot is an sqlite backed shell-history searcher for bash. stinkpot is a much tinier atuin (https://atuin.sh). i have been using atuin for a while, but i don't use most of its features: the sync server, atuin AI, dotfiles manager, script manager or the KV store. while sync is interesting, my machines have very different setups and i tend to run very different commands on them. my only usecase for atuin was the session agnostic history management, and the searcher TUI. stinkpot provides these while being about 400 lines of go. stinkpot is a tiny turtle species apparently, hence the name. develop ------- to build: go build -o stinkpot . usage ----- if you use home-manager for nixos, stinkpot has a home-manager module: home-manager.users.<name> = { imports = [ ./home.nix inputs.stinkpot.homeManagerModules.default ]; }; if not, just call eval the init script in your .bashrc: eval "$(stinkpot init)" start by importing your existing bash history into stinkpot: stinkpot import and then hit ctrl+r at your shell to trigger reverse search: > search history... 1s vim flake.nix 3m redis-server 3m jj l 35m jj show m 36m jj git fetch 39m cd 40m vim readme.txt 788 matches · ↑/↓ move · enter accept · esc cancel hit tab/enter to accept the selection, hit enter again to execute. the history database is stored in ~/.local/share/stinkpot. if upgrades break the DB, just delete it and run the import command.
