* Package name : zsh-histdb Version : git HEAD Upstream Author : Tom Hinton <tom.hin...@cse.org.uk> * URL : https://github.com/larkery/zsh-histdb * License : MIT Programming Lang: ZSH Description : scalable command history with git versioning and sync across hosts This is a ZSH extension which stores the command history in an sqlite database instead of a text file while adding a number of extremely useful bits of metadata missing from zsh's native history file. A very useful aspect of this approach is that querying the history scales significantly better since sqlite can stream (search) results off the disk rather than having to read everything into memory first as zsh's native history support does. While the database file is binary and thus would ordinarily be hard to keep under version control zsh-histdb provides an automatic merge driver for use with git. This allows not only version control but naturally also syncing history across hosts with regular git push/pull. - I believe the functionality provided by this package is unique in Debian - I plan to maintain this package myself but require a sponsor. --Daniel
