# master thesis
## What
This project is the first phase of my master thesis.
It records shell history with rich set of metadata and saves it locally.
It doesn't change the way your shell and your shell history behaves.
Even this first phase is fairly fast (~40ms).
If you are not happy with it you can uninstall it with a single command (`rm -rf ~/.resh`).
## Why
The ultimate point of my thesis is to provide a drop-in replacement for bash and zsh shell history.
The idea is to provide following:
- Context-based history
- Simple way to search whole history by command itself and/or metadata
- Synchronization across devices
- And more ...
## Prereqisities
- `git`
- `golang` (>1.11 if possible but we can deal with old ones as well )
## Installation
### Simplest
Just run `bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/curusarn/resh/master/rawinstall.sh)"` from anywhere.
### Simple
1. Run `git clone https://github.com/curusarn/resh.git && cd resh`
2. Run `make autoinstall` for assisted build & instalation.
- OR Run `make install` if you know how to build Golang projects.
## Compatibility
Works in `bash` and `zsh`.
Tested on:
- Arch
- Ubuntu
- MacOS
## Examples
Resh history is saved to `~/.resh_history.json`
You can look at it using e.g. `tail -f ~/.resh_history.json | jq`

## Issues
You are welcome to create issues: https://github.com/curusarn/resh/issues
## Uninstallation
You can uninstall this project at any time by running `rm -rf ~/.resh/`
You won't lose any recorded history by removing `~/.resh` directory because history is saved in `~/.resh_history.json`.
