CLI command history tracker – never forget a command again

https://crates.io/crates/omniscient/1.0.2

Omniscient is a cross-platform command history tracker that captures every command you run, categorizes them intelligently, and makes them instantly searchable. Survive machine migrations, access your command library anywhere, and boost your CLI productivity.
drekipus•2mo ago
Why?
danebalia•2mo ago
Cause I got tired of having to record commands and store them in my second brain. And history search often hits limits. Also it would be great to have richer search for commands that are contextual (kubectl, git)
jiehong•2mo ago
Aka an alternative to atuin

^r then, start typing the e command

This. Combine with fzf for better experience.

I'll say what I've said before...

Cunningham's law states "The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer."

I think we're about to see a new law "The best way to find the right solution on the internet is not to ask for it; it's to post a vibe coded solution."

---

That being said, you can also just ask your LLM something like "is there already a solution to this? anything else I should know?"

I am not looking for what atuin or x does. Been using Linux, *BSD for over 15 years. Just got tired of the same issue, depending on Obsidian for my commands. This was just easy. So I shared what was useful. I don't believe I was trying to convince anyone to use it. If you find it useful, use it, if not, don't.
danebalia•2mo ago
Yeah been doing that for over 15 years, and it sucks!
taskforcegemini•2mo ago
It could be improved upon, but it definitely doesn't suck compared to all the systems that don't even use any command history
seymon•2mo ago
Curious how this differs from Atuin — is there a particular problem it solves better?
danebalia•2mo ago
Atuin is a monster. I was looking to prove an idea I had around my workflow and the problems I experience. I want something small, minimal and source code I trust.
mrorigo•2mo ago
heard of atuin?
danebalia•2mo ago
Nope, but looks fantastic
danebalia•2mo ago
I did take a look, a bit more than what I am looking for. It costs nothing to build these things in Rust and that meet my very exact needs. Thanks for the suggeston :)
vindin•2mo ago
Someone never read their shell’s manpages
danebalia•2mo ago
I certainly did and do. Not interested in having endless configurations every time I being a new OS.
