This is a +bundle of the [official plugin by @jimhester][5]. + +To use it, add `per-directory-history` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: + +```zsh +plugins=(... per-directory-history) +``` + +This is an implementation of per-directory history for zsh, some implementations +of which exist in bash[1][],[2][]. It also implements a toggle-history function +to change from using the directory history to using the global history. In both +cases the history is always saved to both the global history and the directory +history, so the toggle state will not effect the saved histories. Being able to +switch between global and directory histories on the fly is a novel feature. + +## Usage + +The default mode is per directory history, interact with your history as normal. + +Press ^G (the <kbd>Control</kbd> and <kbd>G</kbd> keys simultaneously) to toggle +between local and global histories. If you would prefer a different shortcut to +toggle set the `PER_DIRECTORY_HISTORY_TOGGLE` environment variable. + +## Configuration + +* `HISTORY_BASE` is a global variable that defines the base directory in which the + directory histories are stored (default `$HOME/.directory_history`). +* `per-directory-history-toggle-history` is the function to toggle between local + and global histories. +* `PER_DIRECTORY_HISTORY_TOGGLE` is the key binding used to run the toggle-history + function above (default `^G`) + +## History + +The idea/inspiration for a per directory history is from [Stewart MacArthur][1] +and [Dieter][2], the implementation idea is from [Bart Schaefer][3]. The +implementation is by [Jim Hester][4] in September 2012. + +[1]: http://www.compbiome.com/2010/07/bash-per-directory-bash-history.html +[2]: http://dieter.plaetinck.be/per_directory_bash +[3]: https://www.zsh.org/mla/users/1997/msg00226.html +[4]: https://jimhester.com +[5]: https://github.com/jimhester/per-directory-history |
