Atuin (History-Only Fork)

Atuin replaces your shell history file with a local SQLite database and provides fast interactive search in your terminal.

This fork is intentionally history-only:

• no sync
• no server
• no daemon
• no AI
• no KV/scripts/dotfiles stores

But:

• blazingly fast history search
• fzf-like interactive search via nucleo

Features

• Capture command history with context (cwd, exit code, duration, host/session)
• Interactive and non-interactive history search
• History import from supported shells
• History stats
• Shell integrations for zsh, bash, fish, nushell, xonsh, and powershell

Install

Use your package manager or build from source:

cargo install --path crates/atuin

Quickstart

Add shell init and restart your shell:

eval "$(atuin init zsh)"

Import existing shell history:

atuin import auto

Common Commands

atuin search -i
atuin history list
atuin history last
