## Description
Are you looking for a command that you used **recently**? Do you
want to avoid the need to write **long commands** over and over
again? Are you looking for a tool that is able to manage your
**favorite** commands?
HSTR (**H**i**ST**o**R**y) is a command line utility that brings improved `bash`/`zsh` command completion
from the history. It aims to make completion **easier** and more **efficient** than Ctrl-r.
HSTR can also **manage** your command history (for instance you can remove
commands that are obsolete or contain a piece of sensitive information)
or **bookmark** your favorite commands.
