HSTR
Easily view, navigate and search your command history with shell history suggest box for bash and zsh.
Description
Are you looking for a command that you used recently? Do you want to avoid the need to write long commands over and over again? Are you looking for a tool that is able to manage your favorite commands?
HSTR (HiSToRy) is a command line utility that brings improved bash
/zsh
command completion
