HSTR
Easily view, navigate and search your command history with shell history suggest box for
bash and zsh.
Description
Are you looking for a command that you used recently? Do you
want to avoid the need to write long commands over and over
again? Are you looking for a tool that is able to manage your
favorite commands?
HSTR (HiSToRy) is a command line utility that brings improved bash/zsh command completion
from the history. It aims to make completion easier and more efficient than Ctrl-r.
HSTR can also manage your command history (for instance you can remove
commands that are obsolete or contain a piece of sensitive information)
or bookmark your favorite commands.
