Another release :partying_face: Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this one!

I’m not posting the changelog on the blog this time. I’d rather keep them here, and post more interesting things there!

Fixes for fish 4.0

Fish 4.0 was released with a few breaking changes that affected our shell integration. These should be resolved with 18.5.

Atuin Scripts

These will also be getting a post of their own! I’ll also be updating the docs asap. Atuin Scripts allow you to build, sync + execute scripts with Atuin.

Scripts can be built from shell history

atuin scripts new --help
Usage: atuin scripts new [OPTIONS] <NAME>

Arguments:
  <NAME>

Options:
  -d, --description <DESCRIPTION>
  -t, --tags <TAGS>
  -s, --shebang <SHEBANG>
      --script <SCRIPT>
      --last [<LAST>]              Use the last command as the script content Optionally specify a number to use the last N commands
      --no-edit                    Skip opening editor when using --last
  -h, --help                       Print help

Creating a script out of the last command ran

Running

atuin scripts new --name my-script --last

will open up your editor with the last command pre-loaded. Save and quit the editor, and the script is saved to your account :sparkles:

atuin scripts list

You can then execute the script with atuin scripts run <name>

Scripts can be created from stdin, from file, or interactively from your editor

Variables

We also support variables within scripts. Specify those with Jinja2-style templating, for example

echo "Hello {{name}}"

Running the script will prompt the user to provide a value for the variable. Alternatively, variable values can be provided from the CLI interface

atuin scripts run my-script -v name=ellie -v foo=bar -v key=value

We have a bunch planned for these, including the ability to create them interactively, include them in the search TUI, and more. Let me know what you think!

Congrats on the Release!

atuin scripts looks like it will be amazing for syncing a full shell environment! I see you put up the blog post now as well: Atuin Scripts: Shareable, Syncable Shell Snippets

The current feature set looks like it’s mainly targeting simple scripts that fit into a few lines and that don’t benefit much from diffing/change tracking/full editor support.

Is the plan to mainly target short shell “snippets” or longer complex scripting/runbooks?

Correct! Although it is possible to use a full editor, and we store every version. So if there’s enough interest it could be expanded pretty significantly.

Currently somewhere between snippets and larger scripts - the kind of thing you might store in your own dotfiles. Something else in the works for runbooks, though scripts definitely fit in there nicely
