# Atuin Synchronizes the shell history to multiple machines. 1. [TL;DR](#tldr) 1. [Further readings](#further-readings) 1. [Sources](#sources) ## TL;DR Replaces the existing shell history with a SQLite database, and records additional context for commands. It also provides optional synchronisation of the history between machines.
The files and process is end-to-end encrypted. When enabled, the history is saved in Atuin's or [self-hosted][server setup] servers. ## Further readings - [Website] - [Codebase] ### Sources - [Documentation] [codebase]: https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin [documentation]: https://docs.atuin.sh/ [Server setup]: https://docs.atuin.sh/self-hosting/server-setup/ [website]: https://atuin.sh/
