Hello there! First use of the Atuin Desktop and created my first Runbook. It is a quick sample of creating and compiling a C++ program. One thing that I noted, and maybe I have my workflow incorrect, but one terminal seems to not have any ‘history’ or connection to a previous terminal.
I was thinking that this Runbook was a bit like a Python Jupyter Notebook in that previous commands in a cell would generate some state for future cells. So in this approach I thought I could have…
- a terminal that creates the C++ file
- some paragraph text that explains it a bit
- another terminal that compiles the C++ file into an executable
- another paragraph for discussion
- then another terminal that runs the compiled program
It seems that I have to ‘cd’ into the correct directory in each terminal rather than expect the subsequent terminals to be in the working directory set by the previous cell terminal. And that I have to run each terminal separately in order.
Again, maybe I am missing the workflow, but wondering if some state retention is possible, or if I am trying to use this incorrectly. Thanks!
