Hi, thanks for making the client open source.
I just installed it, but it seems to not be able to find the command "which"
Example:

$ which python
/usr/bin/python
$ bh which
$ bh python
which python

I have this one in history:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml down

When I do bh down it does not find anything (certainly should find a lot more).

When I do bh compose it does find that one among others.

Any idea what this could be?

Trying bh -n for some time:

pascal@MBP ~ $ bh -n 9999 > bhhist.txt
pascal@MBP ~ $ cat bhhist.txt | wc -l
      45
pascal@MBP ~ $
pascal@MBP ~ $ bh -n 2300 > bhhist.txt
pascal@MBP ~ $ cat bhhist.txt | wc -l
    2300
pascal@MBP ~ $ bh -n 5000 > bhhist.txt
pascal@MBP ~ $ cat bhhist.txt | wc -l
    1034

A handful of installs have broken due to changes in a users shell environment or changes in configuration (e.g. lack of auth token, or bad config file). This causes commands to not save properly without letting the user know at all.

It'd be nice to do some basic checks on session start to verify that Bashhub is working. If not, we can output a helpful warning message to notify a user that their installation needs to be fixed.
#27 is one example that's popped up in the past few months.

I can nicely see that I have executed:

Total Commands: 6855 

But I'm getting an error with all commands:

pascal@MBP:~ $ bh -d
Oops, look like an exception occured: No JSON object could be decoded

I'd really like to access my history.

These can be paused, etc... But, yes, sadly on GitHub they won't render directly... See http://asciinema.org.

@tmccartan https://bashhub.com/u/tmccartan Spotted this since there's a conflict with bash-preexec and iTerm2 with shell integration.

Looks like both libraries try to make a play for the debug trap. I'm wondering if we can standardize to use one library and just queue up preexec functions from there.

I don't want to see a "Sorry, looks like there's a connection error" message every time there's a connection error. I would prefer it notified me that there was one once and maybe not notify me for some time.

I recently missed a couple of times the -A/B/C argument of grep (but then for "bh"): finding lines around my target command (when I don't remember some new command but I do remember ssh was called before).

A: n lines before match
B: n lines after match
C: n lines before and after match

Example:
grep -r -C 5 "test" .

--
--
./new.py-
./new.py-from sqlalchemy import create_engine, MetaData, Table, Column
./new.py-from sqlalchemy import Integer, Unicode, UnicodeText
./new.py-from sqlalchemy import ForeignKey
./new.py-
./new.py:engine = create_engine("postgresql://postgres@localhost/test")
./new.py-
./new.py-metadata = MetaData()
./new.py-
./new.py-countries_table = Table("countries", metadata,
./new.py-                        Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),

Notice the line with "test" and 5 lines before and after. It uses -- two times to delimit multiple matches. I'm indeed missing colors on the "test" match, I had to specifically add --color=always|auto flag. It would be nice to be the default to use colors I guess.

Hi,
Great work with the project. I am suggesting a simple add-on to whatever exists in here. I want to push the history of my bash_history/zsh_history which is already there before I started using bashhub. Is that possible in the current installation? If not how useful is that feature.

I'm running into "No bashfile (e.g. .profile, .bashrc, etc) could be found" on a new machine.

Could you have the setup script create the necessary files.

I just installed bashhub on Arch Linux and the installation went fine but the commands were not added to $PATH. To resolve this I ran

ln -s $HOME/.bashhub/env/bin/bh /usr/bin/

ln -s $HOME/.bashhub/env/bin/bashhub /usr/bin/

Now everything works as it should! Just thought I'd leave this here in case someone else has the same problem.

While j,k,n,p work C-n, C-p do not. I think these should be able to be added according to http://npyscreen.readthedocs.io/keybindings.html which shows ^n as the format for Control-n.

How to disable bashhub's C-b kbd on zsh?
I installed bashhub just now, but the C-b kbd drives me crazy.
How to disable it?
And what other kbds does bashhub provide?
Thanks!

When using the terminal it randomly closes (so sometimes it performs the folder shift and sometimes just closes, could not find any pattern...). I tracked the problem down to bashhub additions to .bashrc

Here it is:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/790752/gnome-terminal-quits-when-pressing-enter?noredirect=1#comment1188726_790752

It is a pity because I really like bashhub's features.

Would love to upload the already made zsh_history files that have been collecting for 30,000+ commands

I need to add this to my zshrc to prevent errors on every shell load:

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit

Otherwise I get this error:

bashcompinit:141: parse error near `>&'
/home/username/.bashhub//deps/bashhub_completion_handler.sh:8: command not found: complete

I suppose this could be intended but I couldn't find any info on the issue. Using zsh 5.4.2 and the latest oh-my-zsh.

This is a continuation of #16.
IMO the practices outlined in are not necessarily reassuring.

All commands are stored in a non-relational database that is encrypted at rest using storage level encryption via LUKS.
No Bashhub maintainer ever accesses commands unless required for support reasons. When working to support issues we do our best to respect your privacy as much as possible and only access what's needed to resolve an issue.

I recommend implementing a zero-knowledge database solution, where the server possesses ciphertext yet no ability to decrypt it. Only clients should be able to decrypt.

See: https://gist.github.com/thiloplanz/e1136a04b26c138c8225 for some initial suggestions. That includes CryptDB (GitHub).

Hey! I installed Bashhub inside a tmux session. Installation run just fine, but I got this error:

$ bh
Oops, look like an exception occured: No JSON object could be decoded

Also, outside the tmux session, the commands bh and bashhub aren't in my $PATH. I reinstalled the application but the situation remains still.
When running the command with full path $USER/.bashhub/bin/bh, the same error above is issued.

Obvious imho. Sorry, but probably most shellusers should not trust a external service, especially as there is no encryption whatsoever.

Currently, the setup script does not work behind a proxy. Error message is as follows

Setup Error:

Environment variables are set correctly and proxy works (curl, pip, etc. all work fine for example):

[root@centos7 ~]# printenv | grep proxy
http_proxy=http://10.84.4.24:3128
ftp_proxy=http://10.84.4.24:3128
https_proxy=http://10.84.4.24:3128
[root@centos7 ~]# curl -Ls https://bashhub.com/setup | head -3
#!/bin/bash -e
#
# Bashhub.com Installation shell script

@JoshuaGross had mentioned he was having some trouble getting incremental backwards search working with zsh. Do you have something like bindkey '^r' history-incremental-search-backward configured? What's your setting for it?

The only time zsh's configuration is adjusted is in:
https://github.com/rcaloras/bashhub-client/blob/master/bashhub/shell/bashhub.zsh

A couple properties are set.

# Turn on Bash style comments. Otherwise zsh tries to execute #some-comment.
setopt interactivecomments

# Bind ctrl + b to bh -i
bindkey -s '^b' "bh -i\n"

Might be a small conflict some place.

Check the existence of our auth token prior to calling bashhub save in the client. If a user fails to login properly, we'll still try to save a command to the server which fails with 403.

Hi, I have Linux Mint 17.3.
After installation and register my account, bh and bashhub commands are not installed.

After reinstallation, when I try to logon, bashhub display that:
404 Client Error: Not Found
Please try again...
Please enter your bashhub credentials

I use .profile, and is there the following configuration

### Bashhub.com Installation
if [ -f ~/.bashhub/bashhub.sh ]; then
  source ~/.bashhub/bashhub.sh
fi

Thanks

Example fuzzy finder: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

IMHO, this is often much easier to use for searching history entries.

https://bashhub.com/u/unstoppable Had mentioned he couldn't press the enter key that's on the number pad to select and enter a command. Probably just need to add it to the handlers.

Would be great to skip rows faster using ctrl + f, b. Currently from interactive search you can only iterate individual commands at a time using arrows or j and k. This would allow for moving through results much faster.

Got this today when I entered a duplicate name...

What do you want to call this system? For example Home, File Server, ect. [some.hostname.com]: An Existing Name

This name is already registered for one of your systems.
Sorry looks like getting your info failed.                    Exiting..

The client should prompt for the name again instead of simply bailing out.

This service looks almost exactly like what I've been looking for - the feature set it great! - except I need to have it stored in my cloud, not your cloud. If I'm using this for work and I accidentally put a password on the command line, I can't have that going to a third-party. If I were able to host a bashhub server at work and the password never made it off-premises, I could use this product.

Can you open source the server side and allow client configuration to point to a private server?

Filtering by command is great, but how about also filtering by currently active directory?
I've quickly hammered something into place that works using preexec...

# Added to end of  ~/.bashrc

__peri_filter_preexec() { if [[ "${PWD}" =~ .*Private.* ]] ; then __BH_SAVE_COMMAND=''; fi }
if [ -f ~/.bashhub/deps/bash-preexec.sh ]; then source  ~/.bashhub/deps/bash-preexec.sh ; preexec_functions+=(__peri_filter_preexec); fi

Prevents saving any command while active in any path containing the word Private
But this feels a bit iffy, would prefer not to have to use internal bashhub variables, etc, etc

Is there a way to get information about when a line was created?

Also, if I would add echo 'export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "' to bashrc, will this not break anything?

Doest it support fish?

Is there a way to import commands to bashup from bash history, and another way to export bashub contents to a local file?

zsh install currently depends on it being configure as the default shell. During installation we detect the shell type and install the appropriate handlers.

detect_shell_type() {
    if [ -n "$($SHELL -c 'echo $ZSH_VERSION')" ]; then
        echo 'zsh'
    elif [ -n "$($SHELL -c 'echo $BASH_VERSION')" ]; then
        echo 'bash'
    else
        :
    fi
}

Probably makes sense for Bashhub to hook zsh by default if ~/.zshrc exists in addition to hooking your default bash profile. Also should update the readme and output to make this more obvious.

Is there a way to download all of history? I have 30k commands in history by the command
bh -dups -n 50000
is returning only 10k commands

After using the normal installation method given on the website: After every command that I enter I am getting this error message: __bh_precmd:19: no such file or directory: /Users/vikas.y/.bashhub/log.txt. Also no commands are getting synced.

Running a command which opened its own shell, like mongo resulted in a fork and failed.

elementz@Kashmir:~/git/bashhub-client (1.0.3-dev)$ bh -i
(bashhub-i-search): mongo
mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.12
connecting to: test

[3]+  Stopped                 mongo

Looks like an issue with the forking of __bh_precmd:
https://github.com/rcaloras/bashhub-client/blob/master/bashhub/shell/deps/lib-bashhub.sh#L67

(__bh_process_command "$command"&) >> "$bashhub_dir"/log.txt 2>&1

Believe we can work around this by just placing __bh_bash_precmd prior to __bh_precmd. Currently it's

echo ${precmd_functions[@]}
__bh_precmd_run_script __bh_precmd __bh_bash_precmd precmd

Putting together a fix on 1.0.3-dev.

I failed to login on the setup and got the following message:

Sorry looks like getting your info failed.                    Exiting...
Should be good to go! Please close and restart your terminal session.

zsh
RHEL7

after installing bash, reopen terminal and source resource file, it shows:

bashhub.sh:8: command not found: __bh_path_add

When executing a command from search echo the command.

Currently it shows nothing:

myComputer$ bh -i
(bashhub-i-search): git sta
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working directory clean
myComputer $ 

I would like it to show:

myComputer$ bh -i
(bashhub-i-search): git sta
git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working directory clean
myComputer $ 

Context: #38

It would be great if the bh command could take flags that print the datetime that the command was executed on, and possibly other data. For example, using something like bh --show-execution-datetime could print the datetime in a separate column in the output.

"Stored privately and encrypted at rest."

This lets me conclude: encrypted => bashhub down

I have to assume, you want to make bashhub a reliable service, so it has to be always up.

This lets me also conclude: bashhub up is a tautology =>bashhub down won't ever be fulfilled. So encrypted cannot ever be fulfilled, because encrypted => bashhub down has to be valid.

This is simple logic: The data won't ever be in an encrypted state.

For a real formal approach. Sry, I'm too lazy spending effort in this.

Problem

The search query appears to only match entire words. Rarely-used commands are hard to find without knowing the complete word.

e.g. Finding an ssh option like PubkeyAuthentication in this command:
ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no [email protected]
I'd have to know the complete option name since searching for just Pubkey or Auth doesn't match the command I'm looking for:

$ bh Pubkey
$ bh Auth
cat auth
$ bh PubkeyAuthentication
ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no [email protected]

Desired behaviour

Option 1. Automatically match partial words

$ bh Pubkey
ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no [email protected]

Option 2. Require regex or globbing to match partial words

$ bh "Pubkey*"
ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no [email protected]

or

$ bh "\w*Auth\w*"
ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no [email protected]

Trying to install this program on a Mac and get the following issue:

What gives?

Since commands are messaged post execution and not pre, the actual time the command is executed can be far off. Add a command start time variable to the preexec hook to capture this.

Since today I'm getting this error when I try to search for something:

$ bh "regis"
Oops, look like an exception occured: No JSON object could be decoded

Could be nice to have an option whether or not to auto expand aliases.
To save time I usually put an alias for openstack as "o" which means my history looks like
o server list
o stack list

and so on...

Sometimes I'm sloppy and don't setup my aliases everywhere. So then
o server list doesn't really mean something.

Think autoexpanding would make sense as a default but I only gave that thought about 10 sec :-)

Need to run the project through 2to3 and make sure everything is still working properly. If alls good, we can update to allow python3 as default installation type. I believe the project should continue to support Python 2 for old systems as Python 3 is still not the default Python installation on many servers.

Well, it's not a client bug, I post it here anyway.

The installation instruction reads:

curl -OL bashhub.com/setup && bash setup

Should be:

curl -OL https://bashhub.com/setup && bash setup

I know that the original redirects to the https one, however it doesn't prevent a MITM attacker from hijacking the first http request and response with a tampered setup file.
