Getting started | Atuin Docs

Atuin replaces your existing shell history with a SQLite database, and records additional context for your commands. With this context, Atuin gives you faster and better search of your shell history.

bash <(curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://setup.atuin.sh)

Import existing history | Atuin Docs

Atuin uses a shell plugin to ensure that we capture new shell history. But for older history, you will need to import it

atuin import auto

Setting up Sync | Atuin Docs

At this point, you have Atuin storing and searching your shell history! But it isn’t syncing it just yet. To do so, you’ll need to register with the sync server. All of your history is fully end-to-end encrypted, so there are no risks of the server snooping on you.

atuin register

After registration, Atuin will generate an encryption key for you and store it locally. This is needed for logging in to other machines, and can be seen with

atuin key

store this somewhere safe, such as in a password manager.

By default, Atuin will sync your history once per hour.

To run a sync manually
