This PR fixes a shell hang when daemon autostart happens from the interactive search widget. The bash/zsh/fish integrations run `atuin search -i` under command substitution and swap stdout/stderr so the TUI can draw to the terminal while the selected command is captured: ```sh 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 ``` This leaves fd 3 open in the atuin search process. If search autostarts the daemon, the spawned long-running `atuin daemon start --daemonize` inherits fd 3, the command-substitution pipe, so the shell keeps waiting for EOF until the daemon is killed. The fix: close fd 3 after the swap in the non-tmux bash/zsh/fish paths: ```sh 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 3>&- ``` Tested on zsh; I still need to confirm for bash and fish. Near as I can tell, the other shell integrations don't need this change. Fixes #3499
magical shell history
Atuin replaces your existing shell history with a SQLite database, and records additional context for your commands. Additionally, it provides optional and fully encrypted synchronisation of your history between machines, via an Atuin server.
exit code, duration, time and command shown
As well as the search UI, it can do things like this:
# search for all successful `make` commands, recorded after 3pm yesterday
atuin search --exit 0 --after "yesterday 3pm" make
You may use either the server I host, or host your own! Or just don't use sync at all. As all history sync is encrypted, I couldn't access your data even if I wanted to. And I really don't want to.
Features
- rebind
ctrl-randup(configurable) to a full screen history search UI - store shell history in a sqlite database
- back up and sync encrypted shell history
- the same history across terminals, across sessions, and across machines
- log exit code, cwd, hostname, session, command duration, etc
- calculate statistics such as "most used command"
- old history file is not replaced
- quick-jump to previous items with Alt-<num>
- switch filter modes via ctrl-r; search history just from the current session, directory, or globally
- enter to execute a command, tab to edit
