A Zsh plugin that provides directory-sensitive command history navigation and substring search.
What is directory-history?
zsh-directory-history is a Zsh plugin that enhances the shell's command history by making it sensitive to the current working directory. It allows users to navigate and search through command history with priority given to commands executed in the current directory, reducing clutter and improving productivity.
Zsh users, particularly developers and system administrators who work across multiple directories or projects and want a more context-aware command history.
It provides a smarter, directory-aware history that surfaces relevant commands faster than the default global history, with integrated substring search and customizable key bindings for seamless navigation.
