## About The Project

### Built With

- [Zsh](https://www.zsh.org)
- [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org)
- [SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com)
- [Python](https://www.python.org)

---

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- Docker
- PostgreSQL client (optional, for manual access to the database)
- SQLite (optional, for local file-based logging)
- Python 3.6+
- `pip` (Python package installer)

### Installation

1. **Clone the repo**

```sh
git clone https://github.com/stiliajohny/historikeeper.git \$ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/historikeeper
```

2. **Deploy PostgreSQL with Docker (optional if using PostgreSQL)**

```sh
docker pull postgres
docker run --name postgres-db -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -e POSTGRES_DB=historykeeper -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
```

3. **Install Python dependencies**

```sh
pip install -r \$ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/historikeeper/requirements.txt
```

4. **Add the plugin to your .zshrc configuration**

```sh
plugins=(... historikeeper)
```

5. **Set variables in your .zshrc**

```sh
HISTORIKEEPER_PRINT_DETAILS=true
HISTORIKEEPER_LOG_METHOD="postgres" # Options: "postgres" or "sqlite"
# if postgress is used then set the following variables
PG_HOST=localhost
PG_PORT=5432
PG_USER=postgres
PG_DB=historykeeper
PG_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword
# if sqlite is used then set the following variables
SQLITE_DB_PATH=~/.zsh_history.db
```

6. **Source your .zshrc to apply the changes**

```sh
source ~/.zshrc
```

---

## Usage

### Import existing history

1. CD in the plugin folder
```bash
cd \$ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/historikeeper/
```
2. Run the import command
```bash
python3 ./parse_zsh_history.py -vvvv --input-file ~/.zsh_history --pg-host localhost --pg-port 5432 --pg-user postgres --pg-password mysecretpassword --pg-db historykeeper
```

### Normal Plugin Usage
The plugin captures each command run in your terminal and logs it to the specified database method (PostgreSQL or SQLite) based on the value of `HISTORIKEEPER_LOG_METHOD`.

You can view the details of the last command executed directly in your terminal if `HISTORIKEEPER_PRINT_DETAILS` is set to `true`.

Example of what is captured:
```shell
johnstilia in ~/.config/oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/historikeeper on master ● ● λ ls
HistoriKeeper.plugin.zsh LICENSE.txt README.md _config.yml
