A TUI suggest box for Bash and Zsh that makes viewing, navigating, searching, and managing shell command history easier.
What is hstr?
HSTR (HiSToRy) is a command-line utility that provides an interactive, text-based interface for searching and managing shell command history in Bash and Zsh. It replaces the traditional Ctrl-R reverse search with a more efficient, fuzzy-searchable suggest box, helping users quickly find, reuse, and organize past commands. It also allows users to bookmark favorite commands and remove obsolete or sensitive entries from their history.
Command-line power users, system administrators, and developers who frequently use Bash or Zsh shells and need efficient access to their command history. It is particularly useful for those who work with long or complex commands and want to avoid repetitive typing.
Developers choose HSTR over alternatives like Ctrl-R because it offers a faster, more user-friendly TUI with features like fuzzy search, command bookmarks, and history management. Its seamless integration with Bash and Zsh via simple configuration provides a significant productivity boost for shell interaction.
