Phoenix: Remember command history

AtkinsSJ commented 1 month ago

Currently, command history is remembered within a session, but forgotten as soon as Phoenix closes. It'd be nice if this could be preserved.

Can you use puter.kv or puter.fs for this?

I think it would need to be puter.fs, because the history can get quite long. Not sure what the best way of storing it is though.

Bash has a text file, one command per line
Zsh is similar, but has some metadata embedded in the line (a timestamp is there, not sure what the other value is)
Atuin keeps history in a database

Something structured like JSON would be nice, but then we'd have to parse the entire file to read any part of it. A text file would let us just read individual lines. Though, puter.fs only lets you read an entire file's contents so maybe that doesn't matter. :thinking: I might also be worrying about speed when it might not matter.
