Config

Atuin maintains two configuration files, stored in ~/.config/atuin/. We store data in ~/.local/share/atuin (unless overridden by XDG_*).

You can also change the path to the configuration directory by setting ATUIN_CONFIG_DIR. For example

export ATUIN_CONFIG_DIR = /home/ellie/.atuin

Client config

~/.config/atuin/config.toml

The client runs on a user's machine, and unless you're running a server, this is what you care about.

See config.toml for an example

dialect

This configures how the stats command parses dates. It has two possible values

dialect = "uk"

or

dialect = "us"

and defaults to "us".

auto_sync

Configures whether or not to automatically sync, when logged in. Defaults to true

auto_sync = true/false

sync_address

The address of the server to sync with! Defaults to https://api.atuin.sh.

sync_address = "https://api.atuin.sh"

sync_frequency

How often to automatically sync with the server. This can be given in a "human-readable" format. For example, 10s, 20m, 1h, etc. Defaults to 1h.

If set to 0, Atuin will sync after every command. Some servers may potentially rate limit, which won't cause any issues.

sync_frequency = "1h"

db_path

The path to the Atuin SQlite database. Defaults to ~/.local/share/atuin/history.db.

db_path = "~/.history.db"

key_path

The path to the Atuin encryption key. Defaults to ~/.local/share/atuin/key.

key = "~/.atuin-key"

session_path

The path to the Atuin server session file. Defaults to ~/.local/share/atuin/session. This is essentially just an API token

key = "~/.atuin-session"

search_mode

Which search mode to use. Atuin supports "prefix", full text and "fuzzy" search modes. The prefix searches for "query*", fulltext "*query*", and fuzzy applies the search syntax described below.

Defaults to "prefix"

filter_mode

The default filter to use when searching

Column1 Column2
global (default) Search history from all hosts, all sessions, all directories
host Search history just from this host
session Search history just from the current session
directory Search history just from the current directory

Filter modes can still be toggled via ctrl-r

search_mode = "fulltext"

fuzzy search syntax

The "fuzzy" search syntax is based on the fzf search syntax.

Token Match type Description
sbtrkt fuzzy-match Items that match sbtrkt
'wild exact-match (quoted) Items that include wild
^music prefix-exact-match Items that start with music
.mp3$ suffix-exact-match Items that end with .mp3
!fire inverse-exact-match Items that do not include fire
!^music inverse-prefix-exact-match Items that do not start with music
!.mp3$ inverse-suffix-exact-match Items that do not end with .mp3

A single bar character term acts as an OR operator. For example, the following query matches entries that start with core and end with either go, rb, or py.

^core go$ | rb$ | py$
