Easily view, navigate and search your **command history** with shell history suggest box for Bash and
[zsh](CONFIGURATION.md#zsh-history-settings).

[![Shell History Suggest Box](doc/hstr-v2.gif "Shell History Suggest Box @ YouTube")](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPF29NyXe2U)

## Description
Are you looking for a command that you used **recently**? Do you
want to  avoid the need to write **long commands** over and over
again? Are you looking for a tool that is able to manage your
**favorite** commands?

HSTR (**H**i**ST**o**R**y) is a command line utility that brings improved Bash/zsh command completion
from the history. It aims to make completion **easier** and more **efficient**
than <kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>r</kbd>.

HSTR can also **manage** your command history (for instance you can remove
commands that are obsolete or contain a piece of sensitive information)
or **bookmark** your favorite commands.
