How it Works
The actual idea of SyncShell is synchronization of your devices shell history, Almost, this ability will be useful when you want to sync your office and home machines. SyncShell is just built on Github Gist
feature such that this CLI tool represents three methods to communicate with the tool.
According to Github API, you can generate a token key with gist
scope to accessing to your gists. Gists have two public
, secret
type which syncshell while executing syncshell upload
command will use secret type to store your history file and keep them secret on Github Gist.
On the others machine, by executing syncshell download
after entering your token key and created Gist ID you can download the gist and sync your shell's history.
Gists will be secret until you don't share it with someone else, In other words, It'll be secret and safe until you only have the Github Token and Gist ID.
Usage
Currently,
SyncShell
just supportzsh
and supporting other shells is in WIP.
Before SyncShell can be useful you need to setup your Github token key:
- Open Github personal access tokens page, Generate a new token with
gist
scope feature. - Execute the
syncshell auth
command, Enter your token key to validate and confirm it. - Done
😉
Now you can try to upload your shell history by the following command:
$ syncshell upload
After the uploading process, you'll take a Gist ID that by this ID and your Github token, you can download history on the others machine by executing the following command:
$ syncshell download
Todo
- Write more test cases
- Support
bash
and other shells
