sync
Atuin can back up your history to a server, and use this to make sure multiple machines have the same shell history. This is all encrypted end-to-end, so the server operator can never see your data!
Anyone can host a server (see the self-hosting docs), and we host one at https://api.atuin.sh. This is the default server address, which can be changed in the config. Again, we can't see your data, and don't want to.
Sync frequency
Syncing will happen automatically, unless configured otherwise. The sync frequency is configurable in config
Sync

If you don't want to have your password be included in shell history, you can omit the password flag and Atuin asks for it through stdin.

Delete
You can delete your sync account with
This will remove your account and all synchronized history from the server. Local data won't be touched!

You can also get this with
Never share this with anyone!
Login
If you want to log in to a new machine, you will require your encryption key (atuin key).
If you don't want to have your password or encryption key be included in shell history, you can omit the corresponding flag and Atuin asks for it through stdin.
