hishtory: Better Shell Hishtory

hishtory is a CLI tool to better manage your shell history. It hooks into your shell to store the commands you run along with metadata about those commands (what directory you ran it in, whether it succeeded or failed, how long it took, etc). This is all stored in a local SQLite DB, and then e2e encrypted while synced to local SQLite DBs running on all your other computers. All of this is easily queryable via the hishtory CLI. This means from your laptop, you can easily find that complex bash pipeline you wrote on your server, and see the context in which you ran it.

hishtory is written in Go and uses AES-GCM for end-to-end encrypting your hishtory entries while syncing them. The binary is reproducibly built and SLSA Level 3 to make it easy to verify you're getting the code contained in this repository.

Getting Started

To install hishtory on your first machine:

curl -L -o hishtory https://api.hishtory.dev/download/hishtory-linux-amd64
# Optional: Verify the binarie's SLSA L3 attestations from https://api.hishtory.dev/download/hishtory-linux-amd64.intoto.jsonl
chmod +x hishtory
./hishtory install

At this point, hishtory is already persisting your shell history. Give it a try with hishtory query and see below for more details on the advanced query features.

Then to install hishtory on your other computers, you need your secret key. Get this by running hishtory status. Once you have it, you follow similar steps to install hishtory on your other computers:

curl -L -o hishtory https://api.hishtory.dev/download/hishtory-linux-amd64
# Optional: Verify the binarie's SLSA L3 attestations from https://api.hishtory.dev/download/hishtory-linux-amd64.intoto.jsonl
chmod +x hishtory
./hishtory install $SECRET_KEY

Now if you run hishtory query on first computer, you can automatically see the commands you've run on all your other computers!
