¬ just serendipity 🍀 (not just serendipity)

Previously.

Scenario:

• machine 1, day 1: run a bunch of commands
• machine 2, day 2: I’d like to run a subset of the commands I ran yesterday. If only I could remember them! I do not have access to machine 1 at the moment.

Enter atuin global search!

Assuming that you set up atuin sync in both machines, all you have to do is this:

• enter machine 2, run atuin sync once, manually¹:

% atuin sync
Uploading 102 records to 0198c192{redacted}d30370fad/history
  [00:00:00] [##########################] 102/102 (0.0s)3/0 up/down to record store
Sync complete! 105855 items in history database, force: false

• press Cmd-R (or Ctrl-R), ensure the filter mode is set to global:

global (default): Search from the full history

• grep for the desired commands in the interactive TUI that will follow

• profit!

This is peak PKM! It just works™.
