What is Termim and how does it work?

Termim is a shell extension that provides project-specific command history. It detects your git repo or directory, isolates history there, and suggests based on your patterns—all local, no bloat.

Does Termim replace Atuin or McFly?

No, but it's stricter on context. Use alongside if you want sync; Termim shines solo for multi-project devs.

Is Termim safe and private?

Yes—everything local, auto-redacts secrets, no network calls. Open source on GitHub.
