Changing the host associated with commands in history

chupson · April 1, 2025, 10:22am

I like to use the “host” filter mode by default, but I recently changed the hostname of my computer breaking command history. Is there a way to rename a host in the history to match the new one, or something similar that would let me “move over” my command history to the new hostname? I use sync if that’s relevant, and there are multiple other hosts on there.

I’m in the exact same situation. This feature is badly needed!

Same here. Probably could be done with sqlite hacking too but a CLI based approach would of course be vastly preferable.

+1, same requirements

This is definitely something we should do, though we need to add a new sync primitive first. Currently we only sync operations for creating or deleting history records, we’d need an additional one for editing

          }
