Question: Is this compatible with atuin about butterfish HOT 4 OPEN

Hey @igor-krawczuk, good question, I wasn't aware of atuin but its a very cool project! Here are some notes:

• When I say in the readme that butterfish "manages your shell history", this is actually pretty basic. Butterfish just keeps track of the commands, outputs, prompts, and LLM outputs in memory while you're using Butterfish, and sends those to the LLM as context. It doesn't save-to-disk or load older stuff.
• I don't think atuin will conflict with butterfish (which is designed to be a layer on top of things that doesn't break customizations like this) but i'm not certain, I'll give it a try when I get a chance. I use something with fzf for my ctrl-r and it works fine.
• That being said there's probably opportunity to make butterfish more compatible with atuin. Some potential features I can think of are:
  • Load older history when you start butterfish shell. One reason I don't do this with bash_history is that it doesn't store the outputs, it seems like maybe atuin does but I'm not clear. See this code: https://github.com/bakks/butterfish/blob/main/butterfish/shell.go#L163-L303
  • Use butterfish to generate sql to search the database
  • etc., probably you'll have to judge what's useful for you based on how you use it.

So please give it a try, my guess is butterfish and atuin don't conflict but sometimes there are weird incompatibilities, please let me know if so. And feel free to send pull requests if you want to make them more compatible! I'm happy to help you get those working well.

This looks cool! Thanks for the @ 😄

I also don't see any reason why this wouldn't work.

One reason I don't do this with bash_history is that it doesn't store the outputs

Do you mean output as in stdout, or output as in "did this exit successfully?"

Use butterfish to generate sql to search the database

It'd be preferable to use atuin search so we don't break any possible integration with future database migrations!

I'm happy to help you get those working well.

Okay, I will try this when I'm procrastinating the next time, currently in a deadline crunch so will probably be a while but I'll make a PR or leave a comment here once I had the chance to play a bit

Thanks for your response!

stdout/stderr, butterfish sends everything as part of the llm conversation context. There's probably value loading just the old commands into history, but i haven't implemented.

Anyway @igor-krawczuk feel free to experiment with integration!
