A ZSH plugin that maintains separate shell histories per directory and allows toggling between local and global history with ^G.
What is per-directory-history?
Per-Directory-History is a ZSH plugin that maintains separate command histories for each directory while also preserving a global history. It solves the problem of cluttered shell histories by organizing commands contextually, allowing developers to quickly access relevant past commands based on their current working directory.
ZSH users, particularly developers and system administrators who work across multiple projects or directories and want to keep their command histories organized and context-specific.
Developers choose this plugin because it uniquely combines per-directory history with global history and allows instant toggling between them, offering both organization and flexibility without losing any command history data.
