First machine works fine, second one doesn’t. I have

I was able to fix this adding the following to my fish shell config:

  atuin init fish --disable-up-arrow --disable-ctrl-r | source

For anyone finding this on Google -

ATUIN_SESSION is set by the shell plugin. If it’s erroring, it’s because you either haven’t installed the shell plugin, or have somehow misconfigured it

Check that you have correctly set up your shell
