🔍 Command History In Repository (CHID)

Creates hisotry for current directory

⚠️ Project is in testing phase so history format may change in next version

🔦 Demo

💡 Motivation

This code stores command history for current directory and allows you to display it.
This idea is result of problem that I always forget commands used at the beginning of the project.

⚙️ Installation

Add to your .zshrc this line, where <path/to/chid_directory> should be path to this repo.

• source <path/to/chid_directory>/chid_plugin.zsh

If you want use alias do it with CHID_ALIAS like this:

CHID_ALIAS=your_custom_alias
CHID_SHORTCUT='^ ' # Default for Ctrl+SPACE
# for example ~/chid_directory/chid_plugin.zsh
source <path/to/chid_directory>/chid_plugin.zsh

you can also setup custom shortcut for buffer replacement with CHID_SHORTCUT.

🛠️ Usage

• To list commands used in current directory run chid.
• To list commands by time of first occurance use -sf or last occurance -sl.
• By default chid displays first 20 lines of output. You can change it with -l <num> or --limit <num>.

Not tested well yet:

• You can get command to buffer by chid number e.g. chid 1 and then running your shortcut (default to Ctrl+SPACE)

📝 TODO

• ⭕ Reverse List
• ✔️ Display by date
• ✔️ Limit output
• ⭕ Better way to search commands in directory
• ⭕ Support multiline commands (now they might not work well...)
• ⭕ Sort by command (without arguments and flags)
