hs9001

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.

Install

From source

go build
#move hs9001 to a PATH location

Debian / Ubuntu

Latest release can be installed using apt

curl -s https://repo.quitesimple.org/repo.quitesimple.org.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://repo.quitesimple.org/debian/ default main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/quitesimple.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install hs9001

Alpine

wget https://repo.quitesimple.org/repo%40quitesimple.org-5f3d101.rsa.pub -O /etc/apk/repo@quitesimple.org-5f3d101.rsa.pub
echo "https://repo.quitesimple.org/alpine/quitesimple/" >> /etc/apk/repositories
apk update
apk add hs9001

Setup / Config

Add this to .bashrc

if [ -n "$PS1" ] ; then
    PROMPT_COMMAND='hs9001 add -ret $? "$(history 1)"'
fi

By default, every system user gets his own database. You can override this by setting the environment variable for all users that should write to your unified database.

export HS9001_DB_PATH="/home/db/history.sqlite"
