[English] | [简体中文]



Atuin replaces your existing shell history with a SQLite database, and records

additional context for your commands. Additionally, it provides optional and

_fully encrypted_ synchronisation of your history between machines, via an Atuin

server.  





  animated






exit code, duration, time and command shown




As well as the search UI, it can do things like this:



```

# search for all successful `make` commands, recorded after 3pm yesterday

atuin search --exit 0 --after "yesterday 3pm" make

```



You may use either the server I host, or host your own! Or just don't use sync

at all. As all history sync is encrypted, I couldn't access your data even if

I wanted to. And I **really** don't want to.



## Features



- rebind `ctrl-r` and `up` (configurable) to a full screen history search UI

- store shell history in a sqlite database

- back up and sync **encrypted** shell history

- the same history across terminals, across sessions, and across machines

- log exit code, cwd, hostname, session, command duration, etc

- calculate statistics such as "most used command"

- old history file is not replaced

- quick-jump to previous items with Alt-\

- switch filter modes via ctrl-r; search history just from the current session, directory, or globally

- enter to execute a command, tab to edit

## Community



### Forum



Atuin has a community forum, please ask here for help and support: https://forum.atuin.sh/



### Discord



Atuin also has a community Discord, available [here](https://discord.gg/jR3tfchVvW)



# Quickstart

  

## With the default sync server

  

This will sign you up for the default sync server, hosted by me. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, so your secrets are safe!

  

Read more below for offline-only usage, or for hosting your own server.



```

# bash/zsh/etc

bash <(curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://setup.atuin.sh)



# fish

bash (curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://setup.atuin.sh | psub)



atuin register -u  -e 

atuin import auto

atuin sync

```



Then restart your shell!

  

## Offline only (no sync)

  

```

bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atuinsh/atuin/main/install.sh)

            

atuin import auto

```



By default, Atuin will check for updates. You can [disable update checks by modifying](https://atuin.sh/docs/config/#update_check) `config.toml`.



Then restart your shell!



## Install



Packaging status



    Packaging status




### Script (recommended)



The install script will help you through the setup, ensuring your shell is

properly configured. It will also use one of the below methods, preferring the

system package manager where possible (pacman, homebrew, etc etc).



```

# do not run this as root, root will be asked for if required

bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atuinsh/atuin/main/install.sh)

```



And then follow [the shell setup](#shell-plugin)



### With cargo



It's best to use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) to get setup with a Rust

toolchain, then you can run:



```

cargo install atuin

```

  

And then follow [the shell setup](#shell-plugin)



### Homebrew



```

brew install atuin

```

  

And then follow [the shell setup](#shell-plugin)

  

### MacPorts



Atuin is also available in [MacPorts](https://ports.macports.org/port/atuin/)  

  

```

sudo port install atuin

```

  

And then follow [the shell setup](#shell-plugin)



### Nix



This repository is a flake, and can be installed using `nix profile`:



```

nix profile install "github:atuinsh/atuin"

```



Atuin is also available in [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs):



```

nix-env -f '' -iA atuin

```



And then follow [the shell setup](#shell-plugin)

### Pacman



Atuin is available in the Arch Linux [[extra] repository](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/atuin/):



```

pacman -S atuin

```

  

And then follow [the shell setup](#shell-plugin)



### Xbps



Atuin is available in the Void Linux [repository](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/atuin):



```

sudo xbps-install atuin

```



And then follow [the shell setup](#shell-plugin)



### Termux



Atuin is available in the Termux package repository:



```

pkg install atuin

```

  

And then follow [the shell setup](#shell-plugin)



### From source



```

git clone https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin.git

cd atuin/atuin

cargo install --path .

```

  

And then follow [the shell setup](#shell-plugin)



## Shell plugin



Once the binary is installed, the shell plugin requires installing. If you use

the install script, this should all be done for you! After installing, remember to restart your shell.



### zsh



```

echo 'eval "$(atuin init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc

```



#### Zinit



```sh

zinit load atuinsh/atuin

```



#### Antigen  

  

```sh  

antigen bundle atuinsh/atuin@main

```



### bash



Atuin works in `bash >= 3.1`, but we recommend to use Atuin with the recent versions of `bash >= 5`.



#### [ble.sh](https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh)



Atuin works best in bash when using [ble.sh](https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh) >= 0.4.



With ble.sh (>= 0.4) installed, just add atuin to your .bashrc



```bash

echo 'eval "$(atuin init bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc

```



Please make sure that the above line comes after sourcing ble.sh so atuin knows the presence of ble.sh.



#### [bash-preexec](https://github.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec)



[Bash-preexec](https://github.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec) can also be used, but you may experience some minor problems with the recorded duration and exit status of some commands.



To use bash-preexec, download and initialize it



```bash

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec/master/bash-preexec.sh -o ~/.bash-preexec.sh

echo '[[ -f ~/.bash-preexec.sh ]] && source ~/.bash-preexec.sh' >> ~/.bashrc

```



Then setup Atuin



```bash

echo 'eval "$(atuin init bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc

```



**PLEASE NOTE**



bash-preexec currently has an issue where it will stop honoring `ignorespace`. While Atuin will ignore commands prefixed with whitespace, they may still end up in your bash history. Please check your configuration! All other shells do not have this issue.



To use Atuin in `bash < 4` with bash-preexec, the option `enter_accept` needs to be turned on (which is so by default).



### fish



Add



```

atuin init fish | source

```



to your `is-interactive` block in your `~/.config/fish/config.fish` file

  

### Nushell



Run in *Nushell*:



```

mkdir ~/.local/share/atuin/

atuin init nu | save -f ~/.local/share/atuin/init.nu

```



Add to `config.nu`:



```

source ~/.local/share/atuin/init.nu

```



### Xonsh



Add

```

execx($(atuin init xonsh))

```

to the end of your `~/.xonshrc`
