Comment on WDYM your terminal isn't a test suite?

I legitimately back up my history file. Mostly because it likes to truncate itself randomly (though this may have been fixed in zsh, or my config, because it’s been a while). Just a systemd timer that triggers a shell script to copy it by date and rotate anything older than 100 copies.

Have you tried Atuin? It’s amazing.

  I did try it for a bit. IIRC it slowed me down more than I cared for. Maybe worth trying again, though.

I’m annoyed when my thirteen bash instances don’t share history, but I’d probably be a lot more annoyed if they did.

  That’s one thing I like about zsh, or my config at least, because I use i3 and therefore tend to open lots of shells. History is mostly local until I hit return twice (two empty prompts) at which point I can get history from other sessions. It’s stuck more global at that point though aside from future history.
