Stinkpot: SQLite-Backed Shell History Tool

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Lobsters ·

Stinkpot is a new open-source tool that stores shell command history in SQLite for better search and analysis. It replaces the default .bash_history with a structured database, enabling queries by time, directory, or exit code. The project aims to improve developer productivity by making command recall more powerful and flexible.

Meridian48 take
A practical developer tool that solves a common pain point, though its adoption depends on whether users find SQL queries more convenient than grep.
