SSH Sync about atuin HOT 3 CLOSED

Could I have a try at implementing and possibly maintaining this? Isn't pull just cloning the server's database file and adding its unique rows to the client's own? Push is everything backwards: first cloning the server's database file, adding the client's unique rows to it and updating it back on the server (or launch a small process on the server to do it all with SQLite's lock mechanism). Please tell me if I have the wrong idea of the codebase as I haven't contributed to Atuin yet. I'm looking forward to have shell integration (perhaps automatic SSH syncing before, during(?) and after sessions) and easy commands like originally noted.

At it's easiest (not simplest):

ssh -q machine cat '~'/.local/share/atuin.db | atuin merge-database -
# Needs passwordless authentication because stdin is piped so
# that's something to fix with "easy commands" ˇˇˇ
cat ~/.local/share/atuin.db | ssh machine atuin merge-database -

This would be super cool to have! I don't think it would be particularly complex to implement either - could add atuin export that would basically just dump the database to stdout, and then atuin import dump (or similar) to read from stdin

Thank you for the suggestion ✨

I still agree with what I said a year ago yesterday, but I don't think we will ever implement this. I'd rather focus on maintaining just one method of sync
