I see it also supports fish. That's been my shell for many years, it just works really well and, as far as I can tell (couldn't find a demo on their website), it doesn't add much to fish beyond syncing?

Has anyone used fish + autuin? What are your thoughts? I'm curious to know if it is worth the extra tool, maybe I should just try it :)

The main thing would be opt-in syncing, and I think we might store a little more context than fish does in their SQLite!

Otherwise consistency is nice if you use a few setups

fish doesn't use SQLite, but its own plaintext format. They've been trying to migrate to other formats.[1] Currently fish stores timestamps and directories in its history.
