## Description

Hishtory is a shell command database and terminal history search tool that captures, records, and manages historical shell sessions. It functions as a synchronized history manager, providing a terminal interface to filter and search saved commands by text, host, user, or date.

The project distinguishes itself by integrating large language models to suggest probable shell commands when traditional history searches fail to find a result. It also provides cross-device history synchronization, mirroring command history between a local terminal and a remote backend.

The system covers command line workflow and session privacy, allowing users to control command recording and delete specific history entries. It includes a terminal user interface with customizable layouts, color schemes, and key bindings.
