What has been your experience with Autin? Is it something worth using?
-
For context Autin (Github) is a shell history replacement that apparently provides a lot of extra functionality.
Has anyone used it? Im thinking of switching to it but Im worried about its impact on performance and if its worth it.

it’s great, I use it all the time. I run my own server and sync history between my work and personal laptops. If I need history for a specific project, I filter by the workspace (or whatever it’s called)
-
I don't have any experience with Atuin, but I use and love hstr for similar features.
-
Have used it for a while, it’s great. I don’t want sync between machines, so I just use it as a better local history. It works well, and switching scopes of history so easily is terrific. I do wish the querying / fuzzy matching was a little smarter, but I’ve not seen anything better.

I love it. I turn off sync but it's just a much better command history tool
-
It's better than any built-in history tools (including zsh and fish) and I find the sync feature very useful. It's definitely saved me time in having to re-find old commands I used once. Probably the second best quality-of-life tool for the shell after zoxide (a brilliant cd replacement).
-
I would like to use it specifically for the sync between machines, because ridicolous terminal commands like with find, grep or checking/comparing used storage volumes is abysmal to remember. I also set up my own server which worked quite well, I just wish the "client" installation as a proper debian package instead of this stupid shell script.
