Find anything in your command history
Just a few - MacOS should be set; for linux, you need sqlite3 and openssl libraries, as well as flex and bison and bsd compatibility
On Ubuntu, for example:
apt-get install -y build-essential libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev flex bison libbsd-dev
On MacOS, for example in .bash_profile:
save_cmd() {
path/to/histx index $(history 1 | awk '{$1=""; print $0}')
}
export PROMPT_COMMAND="save_cmd;$PROMPT_COMMAND"For zsh, set your pre_cmd() hook:
precmd() {
path/to/histx index $(history -1 | awk '{$1=""; print $0}')
}If you'd like to run tests:
make all
./build/histx-testAt present, you can import your current history using the index command:
# for zsh
history 1 | awk '{$1=""; print $0}' | path/to/histx index -
# for bash
history | awk '{$1=""; print $0}' | path/to/histx index -For zsh, you can create a widget to invoke histx for reverse/forward search.
Explore presently does not have any "directionality" notion per se, so bind
as you wish.
Example with zle:
function _histx-search {
local VISUAL="$PATH_TO_HISTX explore"
zle edit-command-line # will invoke $VISUAL with a tmp file name
zle accept-line
}
zle -N _histx-search # register the widget
bindkey "^R" _histx-search # bind traditional emacs mode rev search
bindkey -a "/" _histx-search # bind traditional vi mode rev searchusage: histx [-d dbfile] <command>
options:
-d path/to/db/file.db -- defaults to $HOME/.histx.db or the value of $HISTX_DB_FILE
-h this usage information
commands:
index - index all arguments after this command -
if the only argument after index is `-` read from stdin
find - find matching commands using the the passed keywords
cat - dump the indexed commands
explore [tmpfile] - interactive searching of the index
If [tmpfile] is provided, will write the selection (if any)
to the tmp file.
prune - allows you to mark entries to be pruned from the index via the explore interface
Options should be placed in ~/.histx
Options:
explore-basic = true- simply print theexploreresult instead of writing back into the command buffersearch-limit = <limit>- set the maximum number of results returned in interactiveexplore; default is5
