hs9001 (history search 9001) is an easy, quite simple bash history enhancement. It simply writes all hs9001 (history search 9001) is an easy, quite simple bash history enhancement. It simply writes all
your bash commands into an sqlite database. You can then search this database. your bash commands into an sqlite database. You can then search this database.
It improves over bash's built-in history mechanism as it'll aggregate the shell history of all open shells,
timestamp them and also record additional information such as the directory a command was executed in.
## Usage / Examples
### Search
```
hs [search terms]
```
You can further filter with options like `-cwd`, `-after` and so on...
For a full list, see `-help`.
```
hs -cwd .
```
Lists all commands ever entered in this directory
```
hs -after yesterday -cwd . git
```
Lists all git commands in the current directory which have been entered today.
Also, it (by default) replaces bash's built-in CTRL-R mechanism, so hs9001's database will be used instead
of bash's limited history files.
